Sweet Potato Mousse

Here's a recipe I've adapted from a pumpkin mousse recipe.

• 1 c sweet potato, pureed until smooth
  
• 1 c whipping cream (heavy cream)
  
• 1/2 c brown sugar, packed
  
• 5 yolks
  
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
  
• 2 T dark rum
  
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  
• 3/4 tsp ground ginger
  
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  
• 1/8 tsp ground allspice
  
• 1 pinch of salt
  

1. Whisk 3/4 cups whipping cream, sugar, and yolks in a saucepan until thickened over medium heat.

2. Transfer mixture to a large boil, and mix in the sweet potato, rum, vanilla, salt, and spices. Refrigerate until cold, about an hour.

3. Beat the remaining whipping cream until stiff peaks, and fold into the sweet potato mixture.

4. Refrigerate the mousse for at least 4 hours, and up to a day before serving.
