Sweet Potato Streusel Bars

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Step 2

For the crust; blend the butter and gingersnap crumbs together in a bowl until combined. Spread evenly in the bottom of a half sheet pan. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes at 350°F, remove from oven and reserve for sweet potato filling.

Step 3

In a 2-inch half-hotel pan, spread the sweet potatoes evenly over the base of the pan. Add the heavy cream and butter to the potatoes. Cover with foil and bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 45-50 minutes. When potatoes are tender and soft, pour into a mixing bowl. Using a paddle, blend in the eggs, sugar, vanilla and ginger until thoroughly combined. Spread sweet potato filling evenly over the crust.

Step 4

Blend the streusel ingredients in a mixing bowl with a paddle until crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the sweet potato filling. Bake bars for 30-35 minutes in 350°F oven until golden brown and set. Chill before slicing into 3x2-inch bars.
