5 hr 10 min
4 hr 10 min prep
1 hr cook

Serves 12

Ingredients

  • 2 lb Boniatos, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes, place in water to prevent browning
  • 2 tsp Salt, divided use
  • 2 cups Condensed coconut milk
  • 3 cups Whole milk
  • 1 1/2 cups Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Ground cardamom
  • 1 tbsp Pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/3 cup Toasted coconut flakes

Instructions

  1. Place boniatos in a large pot. Cover with cold water and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes or until boniatos are fork tender. Drain and reserve.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients except the coconut flakes.
  3. Add boniato to milk mixture and blend until smooth using a stick blender or in batches using a traditional blender.
  4. Pour blended mixture into a large, heavy-bottom pot over low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a simmer and thickens to the consistency of melted ice cream.
  5. Remove from heat and ladle into serving dishes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight to set.
  6. Serve cold and garnish with toasted coconut flakes. If desired, top with whip cream as well.
