The 3-in-1 Electric Spiralizer is great for making low-carb pasta substitutes, like zucchini noodles, but have you ever used it to add beautiful spirals to some of your favorite desserts?
I’m putting spiralized sweet potato cheesecake bars on the Thanksgiving table this year. Cheesecake plus sweet potatoes plus small portion sizes so I can easily convince myself that eating three or four isn’t that bad? Sign me up.
Sweet potatoes are one of my favorite fall ingredients and turning them into beautiful, bright orange spirals using the spiralizer only makes them that much better. While I enjoy incorporating them into savory dishes, like this spiralizer sweet potato pasta with sausage and spinach, they add both fall color and flavor to this simple dessert.
The pop of color from the spiralized sweet potatoes combined with the creaminess of the cheesecake filling and the crunch from the graham cracker crust make this dessert worthy of a spot on your Thanksgiving table. While your go-to pies might be a little jealous, your tastebuds will thankful they made it to the dessert buffet.
