Sweet Potato Butter | Batter Dispenser | Hand Mixer | KitchenAid Mixer | Mini Muffin Tin
Want to impress your friends? I’m hoping to tonight at book club with these adorable mini sweet potato cheesecakes. I discovered these while we were in Greenville at The Cooks Station. I’m going to go ahead and say this up front, these are not good for you, but they are dang tasty. Legitimately one of the most delicious things I’ve ever eaten.
They had a sample tray of these tasty treats at The Cooks Station and I all but got on my knees and begged for the recipe after one bite. They already had it typed up and handed it right over. So today, I’m sharing these treats with you and definitely recommend you make the ASAP to impress your pals at your next soiree.
Disclaimer before we begin: this recipe makes a TON of batter. I would definitely decrease the quantities if you are working with a smaller crowd. I wish I had because I had a ton of batter leftover and it just doesn’t last.
