Instructions
Creating Sweet Potato Cheesecake Brownies is a straightforward process. Simply follow these steps for a delicious result:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Brownie Layer: In a large bowl, mix together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.
3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until smooth and creamy.
4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Sift in the cocoa powder, salt, and flour. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
5. Spread the Brownie Batter: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly to cover the bottom.
6. Prepare the Cheesecake Layer: In another bowl, beat together the cream cheese and granulated sugar until creamy and smooth.
7. Add Sweet Potato and Egg: Add the mashed sweet potato, egg, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until well combined and smooth.
8. Layer the Cheesecake Mixture: Carefully spread the cheesecake mixture over the brownie layer in the baking pan.
9. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
10. Cool: Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 15-20 minutes. Then, refrigerate for at least 1 hour before cutting into squares.
