With a pecan streusel topping, this Sweet Potato Casserole Cheesecake offers a unique twist on a classic Thanksgiving recipe!
Every Thanksgiving, my favorite dish has always been my family’s sweet potato casserole. When I go back for seconds, I always make a beeline for this casserole, bypassing all the other dishes.
My dad always prepares ours with a pecan crumble on top, and I love to snack on it before the casserole goes in the oven. Though I do love a good marshmallow topping, I can’t resist that sweet potato-pecan combination.
As we get closer to Thanksgiving, I wanted to try and recreate my favorite dish in a new form, and this Sweet Potato Casserole Cheesecake definitely delivers. Light and fluffy, it has all those classic Thanksgiving flavors served in dessert form.
