An autumnal homage to the Basque classic, this sweet potato cheesecake has just a hint of spice and is baked until it is a deep copper, with a plush, velvety interior. Making your own sweet potato purée is a modest effort that makes all the difference, imparting the true, undeniable flavor of sweet potato.
