Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

Using a fork, pierce the purple sweet potatoes multiple times to allow steam to escape. Place the potatoes in a baking dish. (2 minutes)

03

Step
1 hrs

Bake in the preheated oven until the potatoes are easily pierced with a knife or skewer, approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the size of the potatoes. (60 minutes)

04

Step
5 mins

Once cooled slightly, carefully cut the baked purple sweet potatoes in half lengthwise. Scoop the vibrant flesh into a mixing bowl. (5 minutes)

05

Step
2 mins

Add the coconut milk and lime juice to the bowl. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. (2 minutes)

06

Step
5 mins

Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture until smooth, creamy, and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more lime juice for extra tang or coconut milk for added creaminess. (5 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, try roasting a few cloves of garlic alongside the sweet potatoes. Squeeze the roasted garlic into the mixture before mashing.
A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a subtle kick.
Garnish with a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes and a lime wedge for a beautiful presentation.
If you don't have an electric mixer, you can use a potato masher or ricer for a more rustic texture.
