Sweet Potato Custard
Sweet potato custard is a completely delicious dessert that just happens to also be completely Primal. Sweet potato , eggs, high-fat dairy (or coconut milk) and a drizzle of maple syrup are the main ingredients in this easy to make, easy to love dessert. Sweet potato custard is rich and creamy, with a mild flavor reminiscent of pumpkin pie. Except this dessert is better than pumpkin pie—because custard doesn’t need a crust. Every spoonful brings hints of roasted sweet potato, maple, cinnamon, and nutmeg. It’s a dessert that’s nearly healthy enough to eat for breakfast (not that we’ve done that…). If you crave a crunchy texture, garnish sweet potato custard with whole pecans. And although the custard certainly doesn’t need it, a dollop of whipped cream on top wouldn’t hurt anything either.
