Ingredients
Purple sweet potatoes 2 piece
Yellow sweet potatoes 2 piece
Coconut milk 200 ml
Tapioca starch 300 g
White sugar 200 g
Implementation Steps
01
Peel off the thin skin of the sweet potatoes, cut them into medium chunks and steam until cooked.
When the potatoes are cooked, put them in a basin (keep the 2 kinds in separate basins so the colours don't mix).

02
Mash the sweet potatoes until smooth and push them through a sieve to remove any fibres. Add 150 g of tapioca starch to the purple sweet potato and mix well.
Mash the potatoes in both basins until very smooth.
Divide the tapioca starch evenly between the 2 basins.
Knead the starch into the potato thoroughly until it forms a smooth dough. Once smooth, roll a little of the dough into a long log and cut it into small pieces.
03
Cook the sweet potato balls in a pot of hot water.
When they float to the surface, they're cooked; lift them out into a bowl of cold water.

04
Bring a pot with about 1 l of water to the boil, then add the coconut milk and sugar and stir well. Stir in 3 tablespoons of tapioca starch, still stirring. Once everything has blended together, add the sweet potato balls.
05
Cook for about 5 more minutes, then turn off the heat.
This dessert is delicious served over ice or hot. For a pretty finish, sprinkle a little shredded coconut on top.
Good luck!
