Sweet Potato

with Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe

Ingredients (about 4 portions

) 160 g sweet potato
80 ml vanilla ice cream
5 g butter
Egg yolk (for shine) Dosage

Butter adds richness, but can be omitted. The egg yolk is also used to add luster, so it can be omitted. At least 2:1 of sweet potato and vanilla ice cream is all that is needed.

Directions

: Melt the vanilla ice cream at room temperature. I used MOW vanilla this time.


Steam sweet potatoes in a pan or microwave until soft.


Peel and place in a bowl and mash with a masher while hot. A masher can be substituted with a rice scoop.



Add butter and vanilla ice cream and mix evenly.



Place in a heatproof mold and brush the surface with egg yolk.



Bake in a preheated oven at 180℃ for 20 minutes. If the oven is too cumbersome, you can brown them in a toaster.

How does it taste?

Sweet potatoes with ice cream are very creamy and smooth. It is easy to make and smooth, with none of the shaggy texture that is common in homemade sweet potatoes. If you mash the sweet potato thoroughly, it will be smoother, and if you mash it coarser, you can enjoy the texture of the grains.



The taste is a good balance of sweet potato flavor and rich milk flavor, with just the right amount of sweetness. The slight hint of vanilla adds to the richness of the taste. It's easy to make, and yet it tastes great!


This easy sweet potato recipe uses only one scoop of ice cream instead of cream, sugar, eggs, etc., and saves you the trouble of preparing and measuring all the ingredients. Try different ice cream makers and flavors and have fun with it!
