Ingredients
Sweet Potato Mixture:
- 515 g Sweet Potato
- 3 TBSP Butter
- 1/2 Cup Heavy Cream
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/2 TBSP Vanilla paste or vanilla extract
- 1.5 TBSP Maple syrup
- 2 TBSP Brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp Salt
Ice Cream Base:
- 2 Cups Heavy cream
- 1 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp Vanilla
Instructions
- Peel each sweet potato with a peeler and cube with a knife. Do not worry about shape as we will blend this later.
- Boil water in large pot on high heat and add sweet potatoes to cook for 15 minutes (until it is tender enough to pierce with a fork).
- Drain the water from the pot and then transfer the sweet potatoes to a blender.
- Melt butter with one cup heavy cream in a microwave safe bowl. Transfer these ingredients to a liquid measuring cup.
- Add vanilla paste, cinnamon, brown sugar, salt and maple syrup to measuring cup and combine with whisk.
- Add the mixture in the measuring cup into the blender and blend until mixture is smooth.
- Separately, whip two cup cold heavy cream in a standing mixer or a large bowl with a mixer on medium until soft peaks form.
- Carefully fold in sweetened condensed milk and vanilla into the whipped cream with a spatula.
- Carefully fold 2 cups of the sweet potato mash into the heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk mixture until fully incorporated.
- Pour ice cream mixture into container (we suggest a loaf pan) and cover with plastic wrap.
- Freeze for at least 2 hours if you want a soft serve consistency or 4 hours if you would like hard ice cream. We suggest letting it thaw slightly on the countertop before serving. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!
