Ingredients

🍠 1 medium cooked and peeled sweet potato

🥚 3 eggs

🍯 3/4 cup honey

🌾 6 tbsp all-purpose flour

🍫 3 tbsp cacao powder

🥄 1 tsp baking powder

🥄 1 tsp baking soda

🍦 1 tsp vanilla extract

🧂 Pinch of sea salt

🥛 1/2 cup heavy cream

🍫 3/4 cup dark chocolate chunks or chips

Instructions

1- Prepare the Sweet Potato:

• Cook the sweet potato using your preferred method (boil, steam, or microwave) until it becomes soft.

• Once cooked, peel the skin and transfer the flesh to a large metal mixing bowl.

2- Make the Batter:

• Mash the sweet potato until smooth using a potato masher.

• Add the eggs one by one, mixing until incorporated.

• Stir in honey, cacao powder, flour, baking powder, baking soda, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt.

• Whisk all the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth, thick brownie batter.

3- Prepare for Baking:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) using a GE electric stovetop and oven.

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

4- Bake the Brownies:

• Pour the brownie batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly using a spatula.

• Bake the brownies for approximately 35-40 minutes. They should look slightly undercooked when you remove them, as they will firm up as they cool.

5- Make the Chocolate Ganache:

• Heat the heavy cream just below its boiling point, using a saucepan.

• Pour over the dark chocolate chunks or chips in a mixing bowl, stirring until smooth. Allow it to cool for a few minutes to thicken.

6- Frost and Decorate:

• Once the brownies have cooled completely, spread the chocolate ganache evenly over the top using a spatula.

• Optionally, sprinkle some colorful chocolate candies on top for decoration.

7- Serve:

• Cut the ganache-topped brownies into individual squares.

• Serve on a white plate for an optimal presentation.
