Description

It deviates from traditional cheesecake in that it includes a streusel topping but the taste is out of this world. Even the sweet potato haters in the family loved it! Although this recipe is dairy, egg and nut free, you can easily replace the non dairy ingredients with your choice of dairy.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE BASE:
  • 1-½ cup Graham Cracker Crumbs
  • ¼ cups Margarine (I Use Dairy Free)
  • 2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar, Firmly Packed
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • FOR THE FILLING:
  • 1 cup Cream Cheese (I Use Dairy Free)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • ½ cups Brown Sugar, Firmly Packed
  • 4 Tablespoons Custard Powder
  • 3 cups Cooked Or Canned Sweet Potatoes, Mashed
  • 1 Tablespoon Ground Cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoons Ground Nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoons Ground Cloves
  • ¼ cups Milk (I Use Soy Milk)
  • FOR THE TOPPING:
  • ¼ cups All-purpose Flour
  • 2 Tablespoons Quick Cooking Oats
  • 2 Tablespoons Granulated Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar, Firmly Packed
  • ½ teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • 2 Tablespoons Margarine (I Use Dairy Free)
  • Optional For Garnish: Dairy Free Whipped Cream Or Coconut Cream And/or Dairy Free Caramel Sauce

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Start by making the base. Place graham cracker crumbs in a medium size bowl. Add melted margarine, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Mix until thoroughly combined. Press into the bottom and sides of a 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. You could also use a ten inch springform pan. Place in the fridge while you make the filling and topping.

To make the topping, combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix until it resembles pea size crumbs. Set aside.

For the filling: In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat cream cheese, vanilla, sugars and custard powder until light and fluffy. Add sweet potato puree, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Add soy milk and mix on medium speed until filling is smooth.

Remove crust from fridge. Gently pour filling into pan and even out the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the topping over the filling.

Bake at 350 F for 1 hour or until the edges look set and the centre is still jiggly. The top should be golden brown. Remove it from the oven, set pan on a rack and allow it to cool a bit. Then chill it in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.

When ready to serve, remove the outside of the pan and slice. Place a dollop of dairy free whipped cream or coconut cream on top and drizzle with dairy free caramel sauce.

Oh my goodness, I need this cheesecake in my life! Two questions though: What is custard powder and where can I buy it?
