Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and dry the sweet potatoes. Pierce the skin several times with a fork to allow steam to escape while baking.
Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 50-60 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 5-10 minutes until they are safe to handle.
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.
Add the butter, maple syrup, heavy cream, ground cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg to the sweet potato flesh.
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.
Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more maple syrup for sweetness or salt for balance, if desired.
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.
