Do you want to know more about sweet potato nougat?
You will fall in love with this sweet potato nougat because, to begin with, does not have large amounts of added sugars. But you don't have to give up the sweet flavor either because that is one of the characteristics that sweet potatoes have. With it you get a sweet and honeyed texture inside.

And to finish convincing you, there's nothing like seeing the recipes and realizing how easy it is to do. It is even ideal to do with small children.
Without a doubt the protagonist of this recipe is the Sweet potato. When you are at the market, choose a medium-sized piece and cook it in the oven or microwave. This way you will avoid the excess water and humidity that other types of preparations such as cooking or steaming have.
If you want the sweet potato to have a resistant starch, roast it the day before. Chill it for at least 12 hours, peel it and you are ready to make the nougat.
El chocolate has to be black because, the more bitter it is, the more contrast it will have with the sweetness of the sweet potato and the richer it will be.
This recipe is very easy to do and you can do it on the eve of important days. Since it does not contain artificial preservatives, I do not recommend that you do it too far in advance because it can go bad.
And speaking of sweetenerIn the recipe I used agave syrup but you can substitute it with date paste or maple syrup that will give it those rich notes that this product has.
My advice so that this sweet potato nougat is perfect is that you use a silicone mold. It is, without a doubt, the best to unmold so that the chocolate is drawn and very beautiful.
