Sweet Potato Dessert (Postre De Camote) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 large sweet potato
4 tablespoons marmalade, any flavor
4 tablespoons heavy cream (or use whipped cream or a commercial whipped dessert topping such as Kool Whip)
4 tablespoons chopped pecans (or try walnuts)

Preparation

Boil, bake, or steam your sweet potatoes until soft. Let cool, peel, and refrigerate.
When ready to make the dessert, cut sweet potato into 1/2-inch slices and let sit until room temperature (or at least long enough to get the \"refrigerator cold\" off them).
For each serving, place 3 or 4 slices of sweet potato in a small bowl. Top with marmalade, then a dollop of cream, and finally a generous sprinkling of chopped nuts. Eat with a spoon.
Variations: If you like it really really sweet, drizzle sweetened condensed milk on it instead of the cream. Or use maple syrup instead of jelly or marmalade, and omit the cream.
