    Recipe Introduction


    Heidi notes: I used sea salt, and regular pepper

    List of Ingredients




    1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, cleaned and left a bit damp
    1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons coconut cream
    1/3 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and seeds scraped
    1 teaspoon grated orange zest (optional)
    2 tablespoons unsalted CF margarine, at room temperature
    kosher salt
    white pepper in a mill

    Recipe



    Preheat the oven to 350F. Put the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake in the oven until tender to a fork tip, about 1 hour. Remove from oven and let cook until warm enough to handle, 10 to 15 minutes. Peel and discard the skin. Put the potatoes in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade.

    Meanwhile, pour the coconut cream into a 2-quart pot, add the vanilla bean and orange zest, if using, and set it over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.

    Remove from heat. Use tongs to fish out and discard the vanilla bean. Pour the mixture over the potatoes in the processor and add the margarine.

    Puree the potato mixture until smooth. Season with salt and 4 grinds of pepper, or to taste. Keep covered and warm until ready to serve.

    Serves 4.
