House of Blues Sweet Potato Cheesecake with Praline Sauce and Whipped CreamNote: Gumbo Pages contributor Greg Beron sent in this recipe, which is similar to an excellent dessert once served at the House of Blues. Unfortunately, it`s no longer on the menu ... but you can put it on the menu at home.For the crust
1 1/2 cups finely ground ginger cookie crumbs
3/4 cup toasted pecans, ground
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, meltedFor the filling
8 ounces cream cheese or mascarpone cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup pur?ed sweet potato (or yam; the
    orange kind, not the yellow kind)
5 eggs
1/2 cup heavy creamFor the praline sauce
8 ounces unsalted butter
1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chopped toasted pecansIn a large mixing bowl, mix the ground pecans and cookie crumbs; add the melted butter and mix well. To form the crust, press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.In a mixer, beat the cream or Mascarpone cheese until smooth, then add the sugars and spices and beat until the mixture is light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes. Add the sweet potato pur?e and mix until just blended. Add the eggs one at a time, scraping bowl after each egg. Stir in heavy cream at low speed until completely blended.Pour the filling into into the pan. Put the pan into a 1 to 1/2 inch bain marie, or warm water bath (it`s a good idea to wrap the bottom and sides of thespringform pan to prevent water from leaking in.) Cook the cheesecake in the bain marie for 50 minutes at 350 degrees F.Cool the cheesecake at room temperature for 45 minutes. Chill for at least 4 hours before serving.While the cheesecake is cooling, make the praline sauce: melt the butter in a saucepan, then add the brown sugar, cream and pecans. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Keep warm.To serve, place each serving a slice of pie onto a dessert plate, then spoon a pool of warm praline sauce over and around each serving. Top with a dollop of fresh whipped cream, and garnish with a sprig of mint.Servings: 8
