Purple Sweet Potato Ice Cream

Purple sweet potatoes, or murasaki imo as they’re called in Japanese, are used in many traditional Japanese desserts, and they’ve also become a popular flavour for modern Western-inspired ones. Purple sweet potato ice cream is especially popular in Japan, particularly in soft-serve form. And you can even buy purple sweet potato flavour kit-kats!

Purple Sweet Potato Ice Cream

Ingredients

1. 2 small purple sweet potatoes
2. 4 tablespoons yogurt/milk/cream of choice – I used coconut yogurt
3. Optional: maple syrup (or any other sweetener), to taste

Instructions

1. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into small pieces
2. Boil or steam for about 15 minutes, or until soft enough to pierce with a fork
3. Drain and mash with a fork
4. Once cooled, transfer the mash into a freezer-friendly container and place in freezer until completely frozen
5. Place the frozen mash into your blending device of choice along with the yogurt/milk/cream of your choice (and sweetener if you wish)
6. Blend until it forms a thick ice-cream-like texture – you will probably have to mix it around a few times during this process to make sure it’s all evenly blended
7. Either serve and enjoy immediately, or transfer into a freezer-friendly container and put back in the freezer until you want to eat it
