Sweet Potato Mousse Recipe
What you’ll need:
200g sweet potato, skinned and cut into 1 inch rounds
1 tbsp sugar
10g unsalted butter
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 tbsp maple syrup
What to do:
1) Soak the peeled and cut sweet potatoes in water for about 10 mins to eliminate any raw, bitter taste
2) Rinse the sweet potato pieces and boil in water until tender
3) Drain and mash (or puree) while it’s still hot
4) Add the sugar, butter, cream, maple syrup and vanilla essence while it’s still hot
5) Pass through a sieve
4) Pipe onto shortbread
Enjoy as a snack or dessert!
Notes:
- Purple sweet potato is pictured here, but any variety of sweet potato will work. Go for the moister, sweeter varieties for a more aromatic product.
- Get the kids involved with the piping!
