Sweet Potato Cheesecake
From Kesha Jordan and Emeril Lagasse
Tuesday, November 15, 2005

Kesha Jordan's Sweet Potato Cheesecake recipe is a finalist in "Emeril's Comfort for the Coast" contest. The contest focuses on comfort food recipes because many people turn to food in times of crisis and chef Emeril Lagasse lived in New Orleans. He owns three restaurants in the city.

Kesha Jordan said, "I am always in the kitchen doing something to spice up creativity and trying to get out of the norm of basic cooking. Two years ago on Thanksgiving Day, I wanted something different for dessert. We are always having the same dishes to pass and compare. I wanted to bring a dish everyone would talk about for holidays to come. My creation of Sweet Potato Cheesecake was a hit."

Ingredients

1 medium sweet potato

1 8-oz package of cream cheese

1/2 can of condensed milk

3/4 cup brown sugar

3/4 cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla

2 medium eggs

Three 9" graham cracker crusts

Mix together and pour into crusts. Place into a preheated oven at 375°F and cook for 55 minutes or until light brown.
