Boniatillo

Boniatillo is a traditional Cuban sweet potato dessert made with sweet potatoes, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla.

Ingredients - Serves 6

Place the sweet potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until the sweet potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the sweet potatoes and mash them until smooth.
In a separate saucepan, combine the sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and water. Bring to a boil and cook until the sugar has dissolved.
Add the mashed sweet potatoes to the saucepan and stir until well combined.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens.
Remove from heat and let cool before serving.
Serve the boniatillo warm or chilled, garnished with a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
