Step-by-Step Instructions
To start off, I begin by prepping my sweet potatoes. I usually peel, chop, and boil them until they are tender. Once cooked, I mash them up until smooth. It’s important to get rid of any lumps for a creamy texture later on. After that, I mix the mashed sweet potatoes in a large bowl with coconut milk, sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until everything is well combined. This step fills my kitchen with a delightful sweet aroma that’s just inviting! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
