Categories     ice creams and sorbets, dessert

Time 2h15m

Yield About 3 cups ice cream

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed
1 cup milk
4 egg yolks, from large eggs
2/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
Pinch salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup heavy cream
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans or black walnuts, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Prick the sweet potatoes all over with a fork. Place on a baking sheet and bake 40 to 60 minutes, or until very soft. (To cook the potatoes in a microwave oven, prick, wrap in paper towels, and cook on high 5 to 8 minutes, or until soft, turning once. Remove paper towel, wrap potatoes in foil, and let stand 3 to 5 minutes. Proceed as directed.) Cool until easy to handle, then remove and discard the peel. Puree the flesh in a food processor or blender, then press through a sieve. Measure out 1 cup puree (use any excess for making sweet potato pasta, or to add to soups or stews) and set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, scald milk and set aside.
  • In a bowl, beat egg yolks well. Beat in sugar, salt and spices. Add hot milk slowly, whisking constantly. Pour mixture into the top of a double boiler and cook over barely simmering water, stirring constantly, 5 to 8 minutes or until mixture coats the back of a spoon.
  • Turn off the heat, whisk in the potato puree. Cool to room temperature; stir in cream and vanilla. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Freeze in an ice-cream maker according to manufacturer's directions. Fold in nuts, if desired.

SWEET POTATO ICE CREAM

Provided by Food Network

Time 10h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 large sweet potato
1/2 cup splenda brown sugar
1/4 cup agave nectar
2 cups oat milk
1/2 cup splenda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Peel and slice the sweet potato into 1/2-inch pieces or thinner and add them to a baking dish. Mix the brown sugar and agave nectar together in a small bowl and pour it over the sweet potatoes. Bake for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Cool the potatoes in the refrigerator overnight, which will help soften the potatoes. Blitz the potatoes in a food processor. Make certain all of the syrup is being mixed in with the potatoes and not falling to the bottom of the processor. Add 2 cups of oat milk and blend. Add the 1/2 cup of splenda, vanilla extract and pie spice and continue to mix until the milk has turned a light orange color. Pour into an ice cream machine and churn according to your machine's instructions. Transfer the ice cream to a covered container and keep in the freezer until ready to enjoy.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, blemish-free sweet potatoes with a deep orange color. Avoid any potatoes that are soft or have cuts or bruises.
  • Bake the sweet potatoes properly: To ensure the smoothest and creamiest ice cream, bake the sweet potatoes until they are very tender. Poke them with a fork to check for doneness - they should be easy to pierce.
  • Use a high-powered blender or food processor: This will help to create a smooth and creamy ice cream base. If you don't have a high-powered blender, you can also use a regular blender, but you may need to blend the mixture for a longer period of time.
  • Chill the ice cream base thoroughly before churning: This will help to prevent the ice cream from becoming icy. Chill the base for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  • Churn the ice cream according to the manufacturer's instructions: Different ice cream makers have different churning times, so be sure to follow the instructions that came with your machine.
  • Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving: This will allow the ice cream to firm up and develop its full flavor.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato ice cream is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional ice cream. It is packed with nutrients like vitamin A, vitamin C, and potassium. It is also a good source of fiber. This ice cream is a great way to enjoy a sweet treat without feeling guilty. With its creamy texture and slightly sweet flavor, sweet potato ice cream is sure to be a hit with everyone.
