Ingredients
- 1 (15-ounce) can sweet potato puree
- 1 1/2 cups cold half-and-half
- 1/4 cup dark beer
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

The day before you make the ice cream freeze the ice cream insert for a full 24 hours.
Add the sweet potato puree to a large bowl along with the half-and-half, beer, light brown sugar, cinnamon, ground ginger, allspice, and salt. Whisk together until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and chill the mixture thoroughly before churning.
Churn in your ice cream machine until it freezes to a soft frozen state, about 20 to 25 minutes. Put in the freezer to continue to firm up until you are ready to serve.

I couldn't find sweet potato puree, so I bought sweet potato pie filling. It was really tasty with the other ingredients! Even though I made this in the Spring, I think it would be awesome in the fall.

I altered the recipe as follows: non fat half and half, 1/4 cup plus 2 tbsps Splenda brown sugar blend. Everything else remained the same.My beer probably is lighter than the recipe called for but I think it will be ok. And fortunately Sprouts Market has sweet potato puree during this season. It makes 32 oz (1 qt. My bf and I are both watching sugar and fat calories so I enjoy the challenge of taking full calorie recipes and reducing the calorie count without sacrificing flavor. I tasted this and it tastes very good. Tomorrow I'll put it into the ice cream maker.

I did not like this recipe. It was not creamy like many ice creams, but more crystallized (maybe the alcohol in the beer caused this by raising the freezing point? I also couldn't find canned sweet potatoes, so i baked my own, and pureed them in a blender. Maybe this is where I went wrong, but I will not be making this again.
