Author: Kathy Hester
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1¼ cups (312 ml) dairy-free milk beverage (your choice of type)
- ¼ cup (64 g) sweet potato purée
- ¼ cup (63 ml) coffee concentrate*
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ⅛ teaspoon ground allspice
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Pinch ground cloves
- Sweetener of choice, to taste
- ⅛ teaspoon xanthan gum or 1 teaspoon pectin or 1½ teaspoons (7 g) ground chia seeds
- 2 cups (43 g) ice
Instructions
- Add the milk beverage, sweet potato, coffee and spices to your blender. Blend until they’re combined well and there are no lumps of potato.
- Add the xanthan gum (or pectin or chia seeds) and blend. This ingredient will keep the others from separating. Now taste and add sweetener, adjusting as needed. Remember, this is a concentrated flavor, so it needs to be a little sweeter now to be just right with ice.
- Add the ice. Depending on how powerful your blender is, you may have to add it ½ cup (120 g) at a time.
- Add more milk beverage if it’s too thick or more ice if it’s too thin.
Notes
Coffee Concentrate: You can use store-bought or the quick recipe that Kathy includes in the book!
Coffee-Free: For a Sweet Potato Spice Frozen Latte sans caffeine, simply leave out the coffee concentrate and add a touch more dairy-free milk beverage.
Thickening Options: If you don’t have xanthan gum, pectin or chia seeds, add about half of a large frozen banana. One of my lovely testers, Mary Banker, came up with the ground chia. Chia is less expensive than xanthan gum and adds a nutritional boost.
