Vegan GF Sweet Potato Ice Cream⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

Ingredients:⁣⁣⁣⁣

• 250gr sweet potato peeled and cooked (*see notes)⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
• 1/3 cup (105 g) of maple syrup (or liquid sweetener of choice)⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
• 3-4 (50 g) Medjool dates pitted⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
• 1 1/3 cups (320 ml) canned coconut milk full fat⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
• 4 tbsp (24 g) cacao powder⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
• Pinch of sea salt⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Method:⁣⁣

1. ⁣⁣Cook a medium-large sweet potato. I used an orange sweet potato and baked it in the oven at 200°C until it was soft (approx. 45 minutes). It's also possible to microwave the sweet potato until soft. If using a white Japanese sweet potato, boil in a pot with water (about 15-20 minutes).
2. Let it cool; the cooked and cooled sweet potato should weigh 250g.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
3. Add all ingredients to a blender or food processor And blend until completely smooth, silky, and creamy.
4. Add the mixture to a loaf pan, cover it with plastic wrap and place in the freezer. An ice cream storage container works even better. If you have an ice-cream maker, then feel free to use it. The ice cream will be even creamier 👏🏻⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
5. Freeze for at least 4 hours for a soft serve consistency or overnight. Let thaw at room temperature for about 20 minutes before serving. Enjoy! Store in the freezer for up to 2 weeks, but it tastes the best when fresh.⁣⁣⁣
