Story
This dreamy purple creation is surprisingly simple to assemble. The natural vibrant color of purple sweet potatoes makes for a gorgeous presentation that will wow your guests.
Ingredients
purple sweet potatoes
500g (about 4 medium)
condensed milk
3 tablespoons
plain yogurt
200ml
fresh mint leaves
for garnish
butter (optional)
1 tablespoon
Instructions
1
Steam the sweet potatoes
Wash the purple sweet potatoes thoroughly and cut into even chunks. Place in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 20-25 minutes until a fork slides in easily. Let cool slightly until manageable to handle.
2
Mash to perfection
Peel the steamed sweet potatoes (the skin should slip off easily) and transfer to a large bowl. Add the condensed milk and butter if using. Mash vigorously until completely smooth and fluffy. For an extra silky result, press through a fine mesh sieve.
3
Shape and plate
Divide the purple mash among serving bowls or use a round biscuit cutter to create neat mounds on individual plates. Smooth the tops with the back of a spoon for a polished look.
4
Add the yogurt crown
Spoon the yogurt generously over each sweet potato mound, letting it flow naturally down the sides. The white yogurt against the deep purple creates a stunning contrast.
5
Garnish and serve
Finish with a few fresh mint leaves arranged delicately on top. Serve immediately while warm, or refrigerate for 30 minutes for a cool, refreshing dessert. Best enjoyed the same day.
