Delicious; nice change from traditional sweet potato pie. I accidentally put all 3/4 teas. of cinnamon in the pie filling when mixing, but it didn't affect the outcome at all. I was a little confused with the color of the topping; my cream topping was tan colored and the topping in the picture looks white, but when you add cinnmon and sweetened condensed milk (which is not white) how could the topping stay white?

Tangy cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk combine for a creamy contrast to the sweet potato layer. You can prepare this pie up to two days ahead and refrigerate.
