Preparation time: 30 minutes
Servings: 8-10
Ingredients
3 medium size sweet potatoes
200 grams + 100 grams 75% dark chocolate
1/4 cup walnuts or any nuts that you prefer for garnish (optional)
pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 420°F
1. Grease and line baking sheet with parchment paper where you will bake the sweet potatoes for 20-25 minutes (I cut them in a half to speed up the baking process).
2. When sweet potatoes are baked peel the skin and let them cool for 10 minutes.
3. Put them in a blender, combining them with 200 grams of 75% melted dark chocolate ( I melt the chocolate slowly with 1 teaspoon of coconut oil in a microwave or on the stove in a double boiler).
4. Grease and line a round pan with parchment paper and transfer the mixture of sweet potatoes and chocolate in it.
5. Melt the rest of the remaining dark chocolate and put it on top of the cake (always you have an option to put something else on top instead chocolate ganache. Be creative : ).
6. Decorate the cake with nuts, coconut flakes or fruit and put it in a fridge for couple of hours before serve it.
