How to Make Hot Cocoa With Sweet Potato

  1. Peel and steam 1 medium sweet potato until very soft (about 15-20 minutes). Mash until completely smooth.
  2. In a blender, combine the mashed sweet potato (about 1 cup), 2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy), 1/4 cup chocolate syrup, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (or to taste). Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Pour the mixture into a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until warmed through and steaming but not boiling (about 3-5 minutes).
  4. Pour into your favorite mugs. Top with marshmallows, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra indulgence.
  5. Enjoy your warm, comforting cup of heaven!
