GALATOIRE'S SWEET POTATO CHEESECAKE



Galatoire's Sweet Potato Cheesecake image

This recipe is adapted from a popular dessert served at Galatoire's, a famed New Orleans restaurant founded on Bourbon Street, in 1905. A simple graham cracker crust is filled with cinnamon-spiced sweet potato cheesecake then topped with a lightly-sweetened layer of sour cream. It is to die for.

Time 3h40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ¼ cups graham cracker crumbs
¼ cup white sugar
¼ cup butter, melted
2 pounds sweet potatoes
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
⅞ cup white sugar
⅓ cup sour cream
¼ cup heavy whipping cream
3 eggs, room temperature
¾ cup packed brown sugar
¼ cup butter
¼ cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C ).
  • Mix together graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup melted butter. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9 1/2-inch springform pan. Bake 10 minutes; remove from oven and set aside. Keep the oven on.
  • Place potatoes in a baking dish. Bake until a knife inserted in center goes through easily, about 1 hour. Cool sweet potatoes enough to handle, peel, and puree.
  • Beat cream cheese and 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons white sugar until smooth. Mix in sour cream, 1/4 cup cream, and 1 1/2 cups sweet potato puree. Beat in eggs one at a time, blending well after each. Pour filling into crust.
  • Bake in 350 degrees F (175 degrees C ) oven until a tester inserted near the center comes out clean, about 1 hour (center may still be slightly jiggly).
  • Turn off the oven. Let cake stand 1 hour in oven with door ajar.
  • Combine brown sugar and 1/4 cup butter or margarine in a heavy small saucepan. Stir over low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat, and bring to a boil. Mix in 1/4 cup cream, then nuts. Pour hot topping over cheesecake. Store leftover cheesecake in the refrigerator.
