Ingredients

  • Crust
  • 1 cup rolled or steal cut oats
  • 1 cup raw buckwheat groats
  • ½ cup almonds chopped - I used flaked and slivered ones
  • 2 tbsp coconut butter
  • 3 tbsp agave or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp maca powder - optional
  • ½ tsp pure vanilla powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • Chocolate Ganache
  • 2 cups cubed and steamed sweet potato
  • ¼ cup melted cocoa paste - or cocoa butter
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • ½ cup agave syrup
  • 1 tbsp coconut sugar
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • tiny pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • ½ tsp bourbon vanilla powder
  • 1 tbsp cashew butter

Instructions

  • Mix oats, buckwheat, almonds and salt and process in a food processor until buckwheat and almonds are coarsely ground
  • Add the rest of crust ingredients and process a bit more until the mixture is evenly moist. It will be a bit crumbly. Add more sweetener if needed
  • Press the mixture in a silicone mould (I used the bread tin) making the bottom thicker than the sides. The mixture will be pretty crumbly, mostly thanks to buckwheat groats and I was afraid it would all miserably fall apart, but the shells came out nice and firm and the buckwheat groats were beautifully crunchy after baking
  • Bake for 18 min at 175°C/350°F.
  • Leave it to completely cool and firm up
  • Prepare the ganache.
  • To prepare sweet potato, cut it in cubes and steam for 10-15 minutes, until soft. To melt cocoa paste, place it in the bowl and steam, placing it on the pot with boiling water. The melting process shouldn’t last longer than 5 minutes
  • Now, place all the ingredients in the high-speed blender and blend until completely smooth. Transfer into the crust and refrigerate for at least an hour.
  • If you’re after a super quick dessert, you can simply serve this ganache in cups, cooled overnight. It will get a mousse-like consistency. Incredibly delicious, and nobody will believe you that it’s sweet potato.
