Chef's Notes
Cooking the sweet potato
If you prefer to steam or boil the sweet potato, that is fine! Baking tends to lend to a little more sweetness, but the other methods also work well.
Topping ideas
Top your Sweet Potato Pie Mousse with Sweet and Savory Pecans.
Scoop Vanilla Cashew Cream on top.
Add unsweetened coconut flakes.
Add toasted nuts or seeds.
Make it more or less sweet
Start with a lesser amount of date paste and add more as you like.
