Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes

3 medium sweet potatoes that are about the same size.
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes, do not peel.
Prick each sweet potato with a sharp knife a couple times
Bake in the microwave for 4 mins. Or until soft when lightly pinched. If you have a baked potato setting on your microwave, that works perfect. The potatoes will be very hot, take out of the microwave and let sit to cool.

Mix together
4 oz of cream cheese (and you can use fat free or light)
2/3 c brown sugar.

Cut the sweet potatoes in half, lengthwise and scoop out the pulp without scraping a hole in the bottom. Add it to the cream cheese and brown sugar. Cream it all together until smooth. Place the sweet potato halves in a shallow baking dish and fill each half until it is slightly mounded. Bake at 350 for about 10-15 mins. until they are hot.
You could add chopped pecans on the top if you like nuts.
