Instructions

Preparation Steps

Begin by peeling, cubing, and boiling the sweet potatoes for about 30 minutes, or until they become tender. Once done, drain and mash them in a bowl, then set aside to cool.
Take a ziplock bag and crush the graham crackers inside. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed crackers with brown sugar and melted butter until it holds together well. Firmly press this mixture into the bottom of an 8x8 or 9x9 dish lined with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a separate bowl, blend the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped topping, creating a light and airy mixture. Spread this cheesecake layer evenly over the crust.
Combine the cooled mashed sweet potatoes with sugar and vanilla, mixing until smooth. Carefully pour this mixture over the cheesecake layer, making sure it is evenly distributed.
Pop the dish into the refrigerator and allow it to chill for at least 8 hours. Once firm, cut into squares and serve chilled to enjoy the delightfully creamy texture.

Notes

These bars are best served chilled directly from the fridge to preserve their delightful layers and textures. Optional toppings include a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of caramel for extra flavor!
