Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized yams
• 1 cup coconut cream
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup pecans
• 1 quarter cup dried cranberries
• 2 tablespoons vegan butter
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 sprig (optional) fresh rosemary

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and scrub the yams thoroughly. Use a fork to poke a few holes in each yam for steam to escape during roasting.

Step 2

Place the yams on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until they are soft and tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 3

While the yams are baking, whip the coconut cream. Use a chilled mixing bowl and mix the coconut cream with maple syrup, a pinch of salt, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Set aside in the refrigerator to keep cool.

Step 4

Toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Once toasted, set the pecans aside to cool.

Step 5

Once the yams are cooked, let them cool slightly before handling. Carefully peel off the skin, or, if preferred, slice them open and scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl.

Step 6

Mash the yams with a fork or potato masher. Stir in the vegan butter and an extra pinch of salt, adjusting the seasoning to taste.

Step 7

Transfer the mashed yams to a serving dish. Top with dollops of the whipped coconut cream, toasted pecans, and dried cranberries. Garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary for a festive touch, if desired.

Step 8

Serve warm as a comforting side dish or enjoy it as a sweet treat. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
