This sweet and simple sweet potato mousse from Jennifer Rose Rossano’s Living Crazy Healthy comes together with minimal effort but maximum payoff.
What you need:
1 large sweet potato, baked, cooled, and peeled
½ cup full-fat coconut milk
6 pitted Medjool dates
½ cup cacao or cocoa powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus extra for garnish
4 tablespoons maple syrup
½ cup water
Vegan whipped cream
What you do:
- Into a high-speed blender, add sweet potato, milk, dates, cacao powder, vanilla, cinnamon, maple syrup, and water, and blend until smooth. If too thick, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until reaching desired consistency. Adjust sweetness with additional maple syrup if desired.
- Divide between individual serving dishes and top with vegan whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon. Serve immediately, or store in fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
