This Sweet Potato Ice Cream is a decadent, fulfilling dessert that can be really comforting as the holidays approach, where we might sometimes feel left out of participating with the rich foods of these celebrations. One of my favorite things to do is go in the kitchen and get creative, so my family and I can still feel fulfilled and joyful when these days are here.
There are 2 versions of this recipe, there is a fat-free super clean version – then there is a more decedent splurge version for the holidays or for whenever you feel like indulging a bit.

Sweet Potato Ice Cream
Decadent Holiday Version
- 2 cups sweet potato puree
- 2 cups coconut milk lite (without gum)
- 2 tbsp maple cream (whipped maple syrup only, purchase here Nova Maple Cream)
- 1 can condensed coconut milk (I like Let’s Do Organic)
- 1 tsp pumpkin spice
- ½ cup chopped pecans
Add all ingredients to a blender, except the pecans, and blend until smooth. Once blended stir in the pecans.
If you have an ice cream machine, make sure the insert is frozen the day before. And then pour the mixture in and churn until it freezes to a soft frozen state for about 20-25 minutes. Place in freezer to continue to freeze and serve when ready.
If you do not have an ice cream machine, no worries. Place in a tupperware in the freezer for about an hour. Then pull out and using a fork, break up the ice cream and mush it up and return to the freezer. Repeat every hour for a couple of more hours and then leave to freeze. Serve when ready.

Hi Muneeza,
This recipe looks wonderful. Do you make your own maple cream? I cannot find it in any of the local stores here. Would love to make the no fat version for Thanksgiving.
Thanks so much.
