Is this a recipe… I don't know. IT is so stupid simple with little effort and the results are amazing. Plus it's a great way to use up any left over baked sweet potatoes. —Colleen Stem

Ingredients
-
1
sweet potato
-
2
pitted medjool dates
-
1 teaspoon
Vietnamese cinnamon (can use regular for less sweet spiciness)
Directions
-
Bake sweet potato until tender, or use the left over one from dinner last night. Remove skin (eat or feed to dog) and place into a blender or food processor with the date(s) and cinnamon. Blend until smooth. You can add a splash or two of water to thin it out to desired constancy.
Scoop out and eat right away or place in the fridge to firm up a bit.
-
Optional but lovely. Add some coconut cream on top with some chopped nuts. A scoop of nut butter or even some chopped up fruit would be nice. Also great as a oatmeal or plain yogurt mix in.
