This sweet potato ice cream gives you an extra serving of vegetables to go with your chocolate dessert. Created by Izy Hossack at the blog Topped With Cinnamon, the sweet potato chocolate ice cream is also a vegan recipe with no added sugar. This makes it a healthier option for people with dietary limitations.
The homemade sweet potato ice cream is made out of cashews, pitted medjool dates, cold water, a pinch of salt, vanilla extract, cacao powder and sweet potato puree. If you prefer it a little sweeter, you can add liquid stevia. The topping consists of chopped pistachios, melted coconut oil and more cacao powder. If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can use the same ingredients to make a tasty pudding.
