Ingredients

1 sweet potato
1 1/2 cups whole milk
2 oz cream cheese
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 tbsp corn starch
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 tbsp molasses

Steps

Heat the oven to 400 F and bake the sweet potato on a small pan for 40 to 45 minutes, until tender.
Cool the sweet potato, remove the skin, and blend the flesh with the milk, cream cheese, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and vanilla.
Whisk the heavy cream, cornstarch, brown sugar, and molasses in a saucepan over medium heat until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
Stir the blended sweet potato mixture into the saucepan and cook for 3 minutes without boiling.
Chill the mixture in a covered bowl for 40 minutes.
Churn the cold mixture for 20 minutes, then freeze it for 45 minutes until firm.
