COCONUT-PECAN SWEET POTATOES



Coconut-Pecan Sweet Potatoes image

While living with my elderly grandparents, I tried my best to prepare things my grandfather would eat. Basically, he'd quit eating and just decided that he would give up on living. He loved sweet potatoes and I fixed them at least three times a week, trying out different ways to serve them. While rummaging through the cabinets, I came across a can of coconut pecan frosting usually used on a German Chocolate Cake. Since I didn't have a cake mix, I decided to try something a bit different. This is what the result was. Deeelish...and elegant enough for the fanciest dinner party or simple enough for Sunday dinner.

COCONUT WHIPPED SWEET POTATOES WITH MAPLE-PECAN DRIZZLE



Coconut Whipped Sweet Potatoes with Maple-Pecan Drizzle image

Sweet potatoes simmered in coconut milk until tender, whipped until smooth, and topped with a warm maple syrup and pecan mixture. Dairy-free and delicious!

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 pounds sweet potatoes (peeled and cut into approx. 3/4-inch cubes)
1 14-ounce can coconut milk*
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/16 teaspoon a generous pinch ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (plus more to taste)
1/3 cup chopped raw pecans
1/3 cup pure maple syrup

Steps:

  • Place a large pot over medium heat. Add the sweet potatoes, coconut milk, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, cayenne, cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt to the pot. Stir to combine.
  • Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Remove pot from heat and remove lid. Let cool until a bit safer to handle - I give it about 5 minutes.
  • While the potatoes are cooling a bit, make the maple-pecan drizzle. Place the pecans and 1/3 cup maple syrup in a small saucepan and set over low heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until warm and bubbling, a couple of minutes (depending on your stove top). Remove from heat.
  • Using a hand mixer, whip the potatoes, starting on low speed and then gradually increasing to high speed to help decrease splatter. Be careful! Note that if you have a non-stick pan, you may want to transfer the potatoes to a bowl first so you don't risk getting any teflon in your potatoes. Teflon potatoes bad!
  • Taste the potatoes and add more salt if desired. Scoop into a serving bowl and spoon the warm maple-pecan drizzle over the top. Serve.
