Ingredients

• 2 large sweet potatoes

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted

How to Make Sweet Potato Dessert Bowls

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into 1-inch cubes. Place the cubes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Drizzle the sweet potatoes with brown sugar and a pinch of cinnamon, tossing to coat evenly. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until fork-tender and caramelized, turning halfway through.
4. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the whipped cream. In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip until soft peaks form.
5. In a separate bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and a dash of cinnamon until well combined.
6. Once the sweet potatoes are done roasting, let them cool slightly before assembling the dessert bowls.
7. In serving bowls, layer the roasted sweet potatoes, generously top with whipped cream, and sprinkle graham cracker crumble on top.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy your Sweet Potato Dessert Bowls!

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure to roast the sweet potatoes until they are golden and tender for the best flavor.
• For a richer whipped cream, substitute some of the heavy cream with mascarpone cheese.
• Experiment with spices like nutmeg or ginger for a different flavor profile.

Easy Variations

• Add a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra layer of sweetness.
• Swap the graham cracker crumbs for crushed nuts or oats for a different texture.
• Incorporate chocolate chips or mini marshmallows for a s’mores-inspired version.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla or cinnamon ice cream for added creaminess.
• Fresh fruit, such as sliced apples or pears, for a refreshing contrast.
• A warm cup of spiced chai or apple cider to complement the flavors.
