Roasted sweet potato ice cream

This sweet potato pie ice cream has flavors of maple, dark roasted sweet potatoes in a creamy, rich, cold package. It’s the most amazing sweet potato dish I’ve ever created. Like eating frozen sweet potato pie. I’m so in love with this!

Sweet potatoes are loaded with fiber and full of nutrients. They are one of the most nutritious foods you can eat. They are a powerhouse. But they are also delicious! I love to saute them, roast them, stuff them, make them into soup and so many other things. They are one of my favorites. We grow them in our garden and wow, they taste amazing home grown! But any way you get them, just get them!

Roasting vegetables of any kind brings out the natural sweetness and flavors. So roasting them for this recipe gives the no churn ice cream layers of extra flavor that you are going to love!

Recipe notes:

• You’ll know that the sweet potatoes are cooked enough when the juice starts to bubble up through the spots where the potatoes have been pricked/scored, and you can easily pierce them with a fork or knife.
• I use raw sugar, but you can use light or dark brown sugar if desired. Dark brown sugar or raw sugar offers a deeper molasses flavor, which is the perfect accompaniment to sweet potato.
• You can substitute 4 cups of half-and-half in place of the heavy cream and milk.
• Torched marshmallows, marshmallow sauce, cinnamon, a pinch of nutmeg, or other nuts such as walnuts or almonds would be great garnishes.
• For easier scooping, allow the ice cream to thaw on your counter at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving.
