About This Recipe
This House Special is a signature recipe from the local eatery Tiny Cake Bakery.
" The cheesecake has the old-fashioned taste of a southern sweet potato pie with all the warm spices and fresh sweet potatoes, with the silky creaminess of the cheesecake filling, and the graham cracker crust that gives it texture of pie crust. I usually make it during the Fall season and for Thanksgiving. It's a special dessert because it's not made often and has a lot of ingredients.
Learning how to cook and bake at the age of 5 from my mother, who was a Chef at the time is definitely a core childhood memory. The women on my mother's side are amazing cooks, and a lot of the recipes have been passed down for generations. Cheesecake is also my favorite dessert and was one of the first desserts I learned how to make on my own. My family always prepared cheesecake for Thanksgiving and Christmas."
