Sweet Potato Cheesecake Mini Pies

Step 4: Assemble and Bake the Mini Pies

1. Pour the Filling: Evenly divide the cheesecake filling among the crusts in the muffin tin, filling each cup to about ¾ full.
2. Bake the Mini Pies: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the centers are slightly set and jiggle slightly when moved.
3. Cool the Mini Pies: Allow the mini pies to cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set fully.

Tips for Perfect Sweet Potato Cheesecake Mini Pies

• Choose Fresh Sweet Potatoes: Opt for fresh sweet potatoes to achieve the best flavor. Avoid canned sweet potatoes as they can alter the texture.
• Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure that the cream cheese, eggs, and sour cream are at room temperature for a smoother filling.
• Use Full-Fat Cream Cheese: Full-fat cream cheese provides the richest, creamiest texture, essential for the cheesecake filling.
• Garnish Creatively: For a holiday flair, garnish with a swirl of whipped cream, a dash of cinnamon, or toasted mini marshmallows.

Serving and Storing Sweet Potato Cheesecake Mini Pies

Serve chilled, directly from the refrigerator. These mini pies are best enjoyed with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra warmth.

Storing Leftovers: Place any leftover mini pies in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days. They can also be frozen for up to 1 month. To serve from frozen, let them thaw in the refrigerator overnight.

Can I Use a Different Crust?

Certainly! While graham cracker crust pairs beautifully with the cheesecake filling, you can substitute it with a gingersnap or vanilla wafer crust for a unique twist.

What if I Don’t Have a Muffin Tin?

If a muffin tin isn’t available, a mini tart pan works well, though the baking time may vary slightly.

How Can I Add Extra Sweetness?

Consider adding a drizzle of caramel sauce or a sprinkle of brown sugar on top of each mini pie for added decadence.
