Grease a 13&#8243; x 9&#8243; baking pan with cooking spray. Line with parchment, leaving a 1&#8243; overhang on all sides.<br \/>\nIn a medium bowl, mix cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and salt. Add butter and stir until combined.<br \/>\nTransfer crumb mixture to prepared pan, pressing into bottom and up sides of pan with the bottom of a measuring cup or glass.<br \/>\nIn a large bowl, using a handheld mixer on low speed (or in the large bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment), beat cream cheese and 1 1\/2 c. (300 g.) granulated sugar, scraping down sides of bowl, until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes.<br \/>\nAdd eggs, one at a time, beating to blend after each addition (avoid overmixing eggs to prevent cheesecake from cracking). Beat in vanilla.<br \/>\nTransfer 2 c. plus 2 Tbsp. (500 g.) cream cheese mixture to a small bowl, then cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Add sweet potato puree to remaining cream cheese mixture in large bowl. Add cinnamon and nutmeg and mix to combine.<br \/>\nSpoon potato mixture over crust. Using an offset spatula, smooth top. Freeze until cold, about 45 minutes.<br \/>\nCarefully spoon reserved cream cheese mixture over; smooth second layer with an offset spatula.<br \/>\nBake bars until just set, 40 to 50 minutes. Turn off oven, prop open door, and let bars cool, about 2 hours. Tightly cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until bars are chilled and firm, at least 6 hours and up to overnight.<br \/>\nUsing parchment overhang, lift out bars and transfer to a cutting board. Fill a tall container with hot water deep enough to cover the blade of your knife, then dip knife into hot water. Wipe on a clean towel before each cut. Slice bars into squares.<br \/>\nSprinkle tops of each square with remaining 1\/2 c. (100 g.) granulated sugar. Using kitchen torch, torch tops until it turns a deep amber color.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ingredients Cooking spray 11\u00a0graham crackers, finely crushed (about 1 1\/2 c.) 1\/4\u00a0cup\u00a0(55 g.) packed light brown sugar 1\/4\u00a0tsp.\u00a0kosher salt 6\u00a0Tbsp.\u00a0unsalted butter, melted 4\u00a0(8-oz.) pkg. cream &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2550,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2548","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-food"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tipsforahealthylife.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2548","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tipsforahealthylife.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tipsforahealthylife.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tipsforahealthylife.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tipsforahealthylife.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2548"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tipsforahealthylife.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2548\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2551,"href":"https:\/\/tipsforahealthylife.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2548\/revisions\/2551"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tipsforahealthylife.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2550"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tipsforahealthylife.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2548"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tipsforahealthylife.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2548"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tipsforahealthylife.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2548"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
