Ingredients
  • 2 lbs. sweet potatoes about 2 large peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes
  • ½ cup coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp. maple syrup
  • 1 ½ tsp. ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp. ground nutmeg
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
Instructions
  1. Place sweet potatoes in medium saucepan and cover with water. Place over high heat and bring to a boil. Lower heat and allow to simmer until potatoes are soft, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and drain. Return to saucepan.
  2. Mash potatoes until smooth using a potato masher. You could optionally use an electric mixer if you like your sweet potatoes very smooth and fluffy. Add coconut milk, maple syrup, cinnamon and nutmeg. Mash some more to blend completely.
  3. Transfer to 9 inch x 9 inch baking dish coated with cooking spray or 10 inch cast iron skillet. Sprinkle brown sugar in an even layer over top.
  4. Place under broiler on top oven rack. Broil until brown sugar is completely melted and bubbly, about 5 minutes, being careful not to burn.
  5. Allow to sit for a few minutes before serving, to allow brown sugar to solidify and form a crust.
