Notes
You wouldn’t think “sweet potato” and “fudge” belong in the same sentence, but the sweet potato makes this dessert creamy and dense while the cocoa turns it into a full-on chocolate treat that feels indulgent. Rachel tip: Blend it warm so everything comes together smooth, and if it’s too thick, add a splash of oat milk or almond milk. For an optional layer, melt dairy-free chocolate chips with a little coconut oil and pour over the top before chilling. Make-ahead: This freezes perfectly—slice and wrap for grab-and-go dessert bites.
