Indulge in a Flavor Explosion: Purple Sweet Potato Truffle Recipe

Indulge in a Flavor Explosion: Purple Sweet Potato Truffle Recipe

June 23, 2025 Written by Isabella

Today, I’m excited to share a unique and delicious dessert recipe that’s perfect for any special occasion or just as a sweet treat to indulge in. This dessert combines unexpected ingredients to create a flavor explosion that will delight your taste buds.

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

  • purple sweet potatoes
  • white chocolate
  • black sesame seeds
  • coconut milk
  • honey
  • vanilla extract

You will also need the following kitchen tools:

  • food processor
  • saucepan
  • mixing bowl
  • spatula

To start, peel and chop the purple sweet potatoes into small chunks. Steam them until they are soft and tender. In a food processor, blend the sweet potatoes until smooth. In a saucepan, melt the white chocolate over low heat, then add in the coconut milk, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is well combined.

Next, pour the sweet potato puree into the white chocolate mixture and mix until smooth. Add in the black sesame seeds and stir until evenly distributed. Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and let it cool in the refrigerator for at least an hour.

Once chilled, use a spatula to scoop out small portions of the mixture and shape them into truffle-like balls. Roll them in more black sesame seeds for an extra crunch. Place the truffles back in the refrigerator to set for another hour.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 400 grams, with around 12 servings. Each serving weighs approximately 33 grams, and each serving is estimated to contain around 120 calories.

A unique tip for this recipe is to sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the truffles before serving to enhance the flavor contrast even more.

I hope you give this unexpected dessert a try and enjoy the surprising combination of flavors. Feel free to experiment with different toppings or additions to make it your own!
