So good! I didn't add the coconut cream. Instead, I added 2 teaspoons of maple syrup and 2 tbsps of oat milk.
Looking forward to making it again.

Wow, this turned out better than expected. I was worried it would taste vegetable-y, but this made a rich, slightly sweet, chocolatey mousse. Due to thickness, I added 1/2 cup coconut milk, not cream, and it turned out perfect - very thick and creamy. I served it with fresh blueberries. This will be my go-to treat while doing the Whole30 diet.

I do this as fudgecicles as well as using overripe avocado for fudgecicles.
always beautiful 😍

I was very skeptical of this recipe BUT ITS AMAZING. would have no clue there was sweet potato in it. I used a Japanese sweet potato and added honey and chocolate protein powder. Delicious!

Tess ★ 5.0/5

I made this and spread it thin on a baking sheet and froze it. Broke up the pieces and it was reminiscent of a fudge sickle. 

Ellen ★ 5.0/5

I added some agave to sweeten it up. I put a few raspberries and chocolate chips on top. This is delicious and will help to convert my chocolate and sugar-loving kids to healthier desserts. Thanks for the great recipe!

Best, easiest, no sugar, vegan, healthy dessert!

Added note. Really good but be sure to pick the sweetest variety of sweet potato - like jewel, beauregard or garnet. Some, like hannah sweet potatoes, tend to be dry and more starchy than sweet - really makes a difference.

I was a little confused by the words cocoa and cacao. I assumed that cocoa was the normal product that people used to make hot cocoa and cacao was some mysterious product sold only in high end health food stores. So I went to my local grocery store and there on the shelf was a box of Hershey's Cocoa and right there on the label were the magical works 100% cacao. I thought healthy goes mainstream. Then while making the recipe I noticed that the ingredient list cocoa and the instruction say cacao. So I decided to write you a note telling you to be more careful when I looked in my pantry and the old box of Hershey's Cocoa and realized that it too was 100% cacao! Anyway it was quite tasty and I'll be making it again. But I do have a question. Have you tried it using light coconut cream? I'm going to try that too.

I’m in love 😍 I had baked regular sweet potatoes and Japanese sweet potatoes at the same time. Well, I never had the Japanese ones before but soon discovered that they are now my favorite. The other orange sweet potatoes became soooo lonely in my fridge since I didn’t like them as much anymore. Enter this recipe. This chocolate mousse recipe is PERFECT for the cold, mushy, and caramelized taters that once sat in the back of my fridge.

Maybe I did something wrong, but I did not like it AT ALL!!! Maybe my potatoes weren't sweet enough? I don't know, but it came out tasting like a bitter sweet potato mash. Yuck!!! In order to make it palatable, I added two medjool dates and almost a half can of coconut cream! Plus the coconut cream didn't whip, so it was like pouring milk over it. Altogether a flop (boo hoo!)

Becca ★ 5.0/5

These are totally SO good! I omitted the vanilla for now and added in some coconut oil because I’m a fat freak 😅 but it came out great and I just mixed it together with a fork since I still don’t have a food processor. Would be better I think if I had one to use, but still yummy in my opinion. The perfect chocolate fix for me for sure! I’m going to warm this up in the morning and top with hemp hearts for breakfast 😋
