Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350℉ / 176℃.
  • Beat cream cheese, 1 egg and 1/4 cup sugar at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Spread mixture into bottom of baked pastry shell.
  • Combine beaten eggs and mashed sweet potato. Add 3/4 cup sugar and next 4 ingredients; stir in half and half/non-dairy creamer. Pour sweet potato mixture over cream cheese layer.
  • Place in oven to bake for 25 minutes. NOTE: I recommend covering pie edges with foil or silicone protector during this stage of baking to prevent over browning of crust.
  • While the pie is baking, make the streusel topping, which will go on during the second half of baking session; In a small bowl, combine first 5 streusel ingredients and stir well. Add butter and stir until crumbly.
  • After pie has finished the first 25 minutes of baking, remove from oven and sprinkle the streusel topping over top of pie evenly. Remove foil (if used) and bake another 25-30 minutes or until topping is golden.
  • Let pie cool completely on a cooling rack before slicing. (Usually takes about 2 hours.)
