Preheat oven to 400F.

Poke holes in the sweet potatoes and place on a foil lined baking sheet. Bake for 1 hour, or until fork tender. Allow to cool slightly.

Peel the skin off the sweet potatoes. It will easily peel off using your fingertips.

Place the sweet potato pulp, coconut milk, maple syrup, ground cinnamon and salt in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer, or in the bowl of a stand mixer, until thoroughly combined and fluffy.

Sprinkle with coconut if desired

Tips & Tricks (5)

Pierce Sweet Potatoes Strategically 🔪
Poke several holes with a fork before roasting to allow steam to escape evenly, preventing bursting and ensuring uniform cooking throughout the potato.
Chill Coconut Milk Overnight ❄️
Refrigerate your coconut milk can the night before to separate the cream from liquid, allowing you to whip just the rich cream for superior texture and less watery results.
Toast Coconut Flakes First 🥥
Lightly toast your coconut flakes in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before sprinkling on top to intensify their flavor and create a beautiful golden garnish that adds crunch.
Warm Ingredients Before Whipping 🌡️
Use warm sweet potatoes and room-temperature coconut cream when whipping together to achieve a light, fluffy texture that won't become dense or gluey from temperature shock.
Balance Sweetness with Salt 🧂
Add a pinch of kosher salt to the whipped mixture just before serving to balance the maple syrup and cinnamon, which enhances all flavors and prevents the dish from tasting one-dimensionally sweet.
