Jeni’s Sweet Potato & Torched Marshmallow Ice Cream 🍠🔥 (Cozy Fall Treat)

A Cozy Fall Ice Cream with Sweet Potato & Marshmallows 🍠🔥

When the air turns crisp and the leaves crunch underfoot, there’s nothing quite like a cozy dessert that captures the warmth of autumn. Jeni’s Sweet Potato & Torched Marshmallow Ice Cream does exactly that. With roasted sweet potato folded into her iconic eggless ice cream base and gooey, smoky marshmallows swirled throughout, every bite tastes like Thanksgiving in frozen form.

Why This Ice Cream Works 🍨✨

• Sweet Potato Creaminess: Roasted sweet potato puree adds natural sweetness and velvety texture.
• Smoky Marshmallow Swirl: Torching the marshmallows creates a caramelized, campfire-like depth.
• Eggless Jeni’s Method: Cornstarch and cream cheese keep the ice cream luxuriously smooth without eggs.

It’s a seasonal treat that feels indulgent but balanced—not overly sweet, just perfectly cozy.

FAQ ❓

Can I use canned sweet potato puree?
Yes, you can, but roasting fresh sweet potatoes brings out caramelized depth and a richer flavor.

Do I need a kitchen torch for the marshmallows?
A torch gives the best smoky flavor, but you can also briefly broil marshmallows in the oven for a similar effect.
