Sweet Potato Pie

This is a very easy pie to make and is just the perfect thing to have on a cold evening! It has a similar texture to pumpkin pie, and I'm sure it would be lovely with some ice-cream.
4 oz cream cheese (softened in the microwave for about 20 seconds)
2 C sweet potato (baked and mashed)
1/3 C brown sugar
1/4 C light cream
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 store bought graham cracker pie shell
vanilla ice-cream for serving

Bake about 5 sweet potatoes in a moderate oven for about 1-1/4 hour until done.
Allow them to cool for a few minutes, then peel and mash them.
Preheat the oven to 350° F.
Put 2 cups in a medium mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon.
Add the sugar, cream and beaten eggs and mix well. Stir in the cinnamon and vanilla and then pour the mixture into the graham cracker pie shell.
