  • 4 sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 teaspoons pureed chipotle peppers
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup creme fraiche
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place sweet potatoes on a baking sheet.
  2. Bake sweet potatoes in the preheated oven until soft, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool, about 5 minutes.
  3. Peel sweet potatoes. Pass flesh through a ricer set over a bowl.
