Tips for Choosing Good Purple Sweet Potatoes
- Choose those that are round or elongated.
- It’s best to choose those with a layer of powder or soil on them, accompanied by few roots, as they are freshly harvested.
- Choose potatoes that are still fresh, firm, and not bruised or cracked.
- Avoid choosing those that are pockmarked or have black spots.
- Do not choose potatoes that are too large or too small, as large ones tend to be old and fibrous, while small ones are still immature and bland.

How to make Purple Sweet Potato Ice Cream
-
Prepare the sweet potatoes
Peel the sweet potatoes, wash them clean, and cut them into small pieces so that they cook faster when boiled.
-
Boil the sweet potatoes

Place the pot on the stove, boil the sweet potatoes for about 20 minutes over medium heat until soft.
-

Making sweet potato ice cream mixture
First, prepare a bowl. Then add about 200g of condensed milk, 2ml of vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 50g of sugar, and 400ml of boiling water into the bowl, stirring well until all the ingredients are completely melted and combined.
Next, add 220ml of unsweetened fresh milk, stirring well. When the mixture starts to cool, add about 50g of coconut cream powder and stir until the powder dissolves.
Sift the mashed sweet potato mixture through a strainer into the bowl with the milk mixture, mixing everything together until the ice cream mixture is smooth and creamy.
Tip: To make it easier to sift the sweet potato mixture, add about 1 ladle of the milk mixture into the sweet potato mixture, then stir well to loosen it, making it easier to sift.
-
Freezing the ice cream
Pour the mixture into small bags, tie them securely, and place them in the freezer for about 9 – 10 hours until the mixture is completely frozen. After that, you can take the ice cream out to enjoy.
Tip: You can buy ice cream molds at supermarkets or e-commerce sites to create cute ice cream shapes.
