Velvety Sweet Potato Cinnamon Delight

Ingredients

- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes
- Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. This ensures even cooking and allows the sweet potatoes to soften evenly.

2. Cook the Sweet Potatoes
- Place the sweet potato cubes in a large pot and cover them with water.
- Add a pinch of salt to the water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let the sweet potatoes simmer for about 15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

3. Drain and Mash
- Drain the sweet potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot.
- Using a potato masher or fork, mash the sweet potatoes until smooth and lump-free.

4. Add Dairy and Seasonings
- Place the pot over low heat and add the milk, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, salt, vanilla extract, and lemon juice to the mashed sweet potatoes.
- Stir continuously for about 5 minutes until all ingredients are well incorporated, and the mixture is smooth and uniform.

5. Final Touches
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more sugar, cinnamon, or salt to suit your preference, while keeping it over low heat.
- Turn off the heat and let the Delight cool slightly before serving for the flavors to meld together beautifully.

6. Serve
- Spoon the Velvety Sweet Potato Cinnamon Delight into serving bowls and serve warm for a comforting dessert experience.
