Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash and dry the sweet potatoes. Pierce the skin several times with a fork to allow steam to escape while baking.
Step 3
Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 50-60 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Step 4
Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 5-10 minutes until they are safe to handle.
Step 5
Peel the skins off the sweet potatoes and transfer the flesh to the bowl of a stand mixer. Alternatively, you can use a large mixing bowl and a hand mixer.
Step 6
Add the butter, maple syrup, heavy cream, ground cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg to the sweet potato flesh.
Step 7
Whip the mixture on medium speed until smooth and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is evenly combined.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more maple syrup for sweetness or salt for balance, if desired.
Step 9
Transfer the whipped sweet potatoes to a serving bowl and serve warm. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of maple syrup before serving.
