The Perfectly Healthy Sweet Potato Chocolate Mousse

8/31/2020

I roasted a ton of sweet potatoes today. Then, I started by adding 1/4 cup of cocoa powder per potato. I will admit that if you start with 1/4 cup cocoa for every sweet potato, the essence of sweet potato lingers, but it is a delicious sort of lingering.

Just add a dash extra of vanilla or more cocoa and that sweet potato flavor will fall away. It depends on how much you or your little ones like potatoes...I have a kid who hates potatoes of all sorts.
 Ingredients
  • 4 sweet potatoes, roasted, skin on
  • 1 cup cocoa powder
  • 3 teaspoons vanilla
  • a pinch of salt
  • fruit to top it with like pomegranate seeds or raspberries.

Directions
  1. Puree the sweet potatoes in a blender/food processor. I use the Ninja because it is a total workhorse.
  2. Add in the cocoa powder. Puree to combine. Use a spatula to scrape it down the sides. Once the chocolate and potato are fully incorporated, add the vanilla and salt. Puree more!
  3. Place into small glass containers and chill for about an hour before serving.
  4. Top with fruit, if desired.

Ideas:
  • Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Top it with shredded coconut and almonds.
  • Serve with graham crackers and marshmallows.
