I had went to the grocery store when I returned from a trip. I bought blueberries without realizing I already had some hiding in the refrigerator. So now I have a ton of blueberries to use. The blueberries are the inspiration for this summery treat.
The sweet potato (white) makes a luscious creamy sauce. If you do not like sweet potatoes, try the white variety they have a different flavor. Hard to believe this sweet sauce is made out of veggies.
Filling:
- 4 c blueberries, fresh
- 1/2 c coconut sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon, ground
- 1/4 tsp ginger, ground
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg, grated
- 2 tbsp lemon, juice
- zest of lemon
- 4 tbsp arrowroot/cornstarch
- 3 tbsp earth balance or almond butter
In a large bowl combine all the ingredients and stir so the blueberries are coated. Spoon into a baking dish (rectangular cake size).
Crumble Topping:
- 1 c GF rolled oats
- 1 c pecans, chopped
- 6 Medjool, dates, chopped
- 4 tbsp GF Flour Blend – Vegan
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon, ground
- 1/4 tsp ginger, ground
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg, grated
Mix together all the ingredients and spoon on top of the blueberry mixture.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bakes for 30-35 minutes. The fruit mixture should be bubbly. Let cool about 10 minutes before serving. Top with Sweet Potato Cream.
Sweet Potato Cream:
- 5 c sweet potato (white), cubed, steamed
- 2/3 c maple syrup
- 2 tbsp pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 – 1 c water
Peel and cubed sweet potato into 1 inch cubes. Steam potatoes. (You can either use a covered pot with a steamer basket or your microwave.) The potatoes should be fork tender. Let cool completely.
Combine all the ingredients into a high-speed blender. Start with a 1/2 c of water and add more as needed, until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency and your desired thickness. Chill. for at least an hour.
Looks yummy
I agree!
I have to admit I e en surprised myself on this one. It is incredible.
Wow amazing, I must try this sauce!
My husband had a hard time believing it was made out of a sweet potato. He loved it.
I must keep an eye out for white ones! I haven’t seen them here!
[…] Sweet Potato Cream was used in my Blueberry Crumble with Sweet Potato Cream. That little treat was amazing – All of it. I thought the Sweet Potato Cream was so good […]
What can be used in place of the vegan butter? I try not to eat oils. Thanks!!
I often use Almond Butter instead of vegan butter.
