Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked mashed sweet potato about 2 medium
  • 4 cups milk or 2 cups milk + 2 cups water
  • 1/3 cup piloncillo or brown sugar grated
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 3 tablespoons cold water

Method
 

  1. Combine sweet potato, milk, piloncillo, cinnamon stick, and salt in a pot. Heat over medium until it simmers, stirring so it doesn’t stick.
  2. Remove the cinnamon stick. Use an immersion blender or whisk to smooth the mixture.
  3. Stir the cornstarch slurry, then slowly add it while stirring. Cook 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  4. Taste and add more sugar or cinnamon if needed. Serve warm.
