Purple Sweet Potato Ice Cream
8-9 oz purple sweet potato
1½ cups canned coconut milk
¼ cup sweetener of choice
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1) Peel purple sweet potato and cut lengthwise into 1½ – 2 inch pieces. Place chopped purple sweet potato on an oven safe dish or baking sheet, optionally lined with parchment paper. Transfer dish or baking sheet to the middle rack of a non preheated oven. Turn on the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and roast for 35 minutes until purple sweet potato is softened. Allow to cool and then transfer roasted purple sweet potato to a food processor or high speed blender along with all remaining ingredients. Blend on high until smooth.
2) Pour mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s directions. Once complete, ice cream may be eaten immediately as soft serve. Alternatively, for a firmer ice cream texture, transfer to a freezer proof container and freeze for 1-2 hours prior to consumption.
