Love sweet potatoes especially in desserts and pies, I think taste
like lucuma, an amazing fruit from here,and Peru too.
I know in North america and others countries have now lucuma powder)
Anyway this recipe with sweet potatoes with marshmallow meringue is adapted from a vintage recipe from Good Housekeeping.
and Im sharing with

or honey

Postre de camotes con merengue
Antiguamente el camote se comía mucho aquí en Chile, realmente, muchos postres, pero la vida rápida, el querer tener todo en un minuto listo, en fin tantas cosas, ha hecho que el camote exista pero se ve poco, generalmente se encuentra en supermercados (líder) pero en la parte de las cosas más especiales.
Muchos lo asocian con el zapallo pero es diferente, su sabor me parece más parecido a la lúcuma, el camote es realmente delicioso, fácil de preparar, al cocinarse queda tierno y suave y se puede usar como se quiera.
(Tengo otras recetas de camote en mis recetas por si quieren ver)
El camote de Chile es un poco más pálido (como amarillo) y el de Perú es más anaranjado, los dos son muy ricos.
También en los congelados he visto camotes que traen de Perú.
Oh, if only I could eat these! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Amy!!:)
DeleteAck! What is Amy doing in my spot??? lol......

DeleteQué rico Gloria, Es cierto, el camote es casi "exótico" a estas alturas, a mi me encanta hacer camote al horno para acompañar las carnes, pero en postre queda delicioso, aunque yo lo dejaría para más entrado el invierno. Besitos

ReplyDeleteDear Gloria,
ReplyDeleteThis was a favorite of mine growing up. My mother used to make this dish for holidays. I always loved it.
Blessings dear. Catherine xo
Thanks dear Catherine!
DeleteI love orange potatoes but don't care for the marshmallow topping. You made it look pretty though. Happy Baking.
ReplyDeleteThanks Happy whisk I love sweet potatos too!
DeleteGloria, This is a pretty looking dish... The problem is that I'd never be able to convince my wife to eat sweet potatoes and she doesn't like marshmellows either. (Except in Smores!) This is an old standby recipe that one sees a lot in the upper midwest and southern USA. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
