Sweet Potato Chocolate Ganache

Having seen the idea on lots of other blogs (most recently Broccoli Mum’s YouTube channel) I decided to have a go at making this “pudding” and I added a couple of other ingredients.  I renamed it as it’s amazingly like a rich chocolate ganache, so much so that you can’t eat very much in one go, I have a tiny ramekin which is about 2-3 tablespoons and that is plenty but really satisfies that desire for a sweet treat.  Will last in the fridge for several days.

Cuisine: Sweet Potato Chocolate Ganache
Ingredients
  • 1 large orange sweet potato, baked until very soft and caramelised
  • 3 tablespoons cacao powder (I used Pana)
  • 2 tablespoons PB2 powder
  • 1 tsp natural vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional - depends on how sweet the potato is)
  • splash of soy milk (amount will depend on size of potato used) to get blender going
  • optional: 1 dropper of liquid stevia caramel or toffee flavour
Instructions
  1. Put all ingredients into food processor or blender and blend several times, scraping down the sides between each blitz, until you achieve that thick smooth texture.
  2. Also works very well as frosting for a special occasion cake. 🙂
