Sweet Potato Cheesecake

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine the crumbs, ground pecans and butter together. Mix well and press into 10 inch spring form pan.

In a food processor with the metal blade, mix the cream cheese until smooth. Add the cane syrup and blend. Add the eggs one at a time to thoroughly incorporate into the cheese mixture. Add the heavy cream. Add the flour, salt, cinnamon and vanilla and blend until smooth. Add the mashed sweet potatoes and blend until smooth.

Pour into the prepared pan. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, until the cake is set. Remove from the oven and with a knife, loosen the sides from the pan. This will prevent the cake from splitting down the center.

Completely cool the cake before cutting

For the sauce:

In a mixing bowl, combine all the remaining ingredients together and allow to sit for 2 to 3 hours. Combine the whipped cream and bourbon together, blend well.

Garnish each piece of cake with the Bourbon Whipped Cream and drizzle with Chocolate sauce.
