Battle Scars: Sweet Potato Mousse




I have discovered a new kitchen demon. It appeared while I was blithely steaming sweet potatoes, and I call it Scary Black Stuff.

I don't really know what happened. I was steaming sweet potatoes. The pot was probably too small, and at one point I ran out of water and had to add more. At the end, I had a house full of charred smell and Scary Black Stuff all over my steaming basket and the bottom of my steaming pan. And it took steel wool to get it off.

I was trying to combine my pumpkin mousse recipe with a vanilla sweet potato recipe. It shows promise, but the flavor isn't right yet. I cut the sugar in half and it's still the predominant flavor. The sweet potatoes are barely noticeable. When I get something more useful, I'll post a recipe.
