Equipment

A blender and food processor with fruit and other ingredients in it.
1 Blender I used a hand blender

Ingredients   

  • 1 large sweet potato previously baked
  • ½ cup nut butter of choice I used 1/4 cup of almond and 1/4 cup of peanut butter, for a total of 115 grams
  • 2 tablespoons of cold-pressed coconut oil
  • ¼ teaspoon pink salt
  • 1 teaspoon of pure organic peppermint extract
  • 3 tablesppons pure cocoa powder
  • 3 tablespoons of brown rice syrup
  • ¾ cup of almond flour 85 grams

Instructions  

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C and bake the sweet potato in its skin for about 50 minutes, until soft. You can also bake it in an air-fryer if it has a bake mode.
  • Let it cool for around 10 minutes to prevent burning yourself, and then remove the skin and place the sweet potato in a blender.
  • Add 1/2 cup nut butter, 2 tbsp coconut oil, 1/4 tsp pink salt, 1 tsp peppermint extract, 3 tbsp cocoa powder, 3 tbsp brown rice syrup, and 3/4 cup almond flour.
  • Blend everything until completely smooth. Scrape down the sides if needed. I used a hand blender.
  • Line a small dish with parchment paper and press the mixture evenly into the dish.
  • Freeze for 2 hours until firm. Slice into squares and enjoy straight from the freezer or slightly thawed.
  • Decorate the fudge`in your unique way. It`s xmas, so I added chocolate christmad decorations.

Notes & Suggestions

 
Each slice is rich and fudgy, so you don`t need a huge piece. It`s got a good balance of fats, fiber, and natural carbs, which makes it super satisfying. 
TIPS FOR MAKING THE SWEET POTATO MINT FUDGE
  • Make sure your sweet potato is fully baked so it blends super smoothly.
  • Taste the batter before freezing, you might want a tiny extra splash of peppermint!
  • Press firmly into the dish so it holds together after freezing.
