4 oz. of baked sweet potato
2 eggs separated

A pinch of ground ginger
A pinch of cinnamon
A pinch of nutmeg
1 T vanilla extract
2 T cognac
1/3 cup sugar (or Splenda)
3/4 cup of whipping cream
Bake one to two sweet potatoes – enough to yield 4 oz. for this recipe. Bake the sweet potato for 60 to 75 minutes so that sugars in the potato can caramelize. Allow potato to cool. Whip potato filling, seasoning, vanilla extract & cognac with a mixer or immersion blender until it smooth. Beat the egg yolks until thick. Using the immersion blender or mixer, incorporate the yolks and sweet potato. In a separate dish, beat the egg whites with salt, gradually adding sugar (or Splenda) and beating until stiff peaks form. Fold egg whites into sweet potato mixture. In a separate dish, whip cream and fold into sweet potato mixture. Pour into small stemmed glasses. Chill several hours or overnight. Each serving may be topped with whipped cream. This recipe yields (6) half-cup servings.
