Main Ingredients
- 1/2 ripe avocado
- 2/3 cup mashed cooked sweet potato (can be warm or cooled)
- 28g cream cheese (softened at room temperature)
- Bread or crackers (for serving)
Seasoning & Other Ingredients
- Pinch of fine salt (enhances flavor)
- Pinch of black pepper (to taste)
- 1 Tbsp mayonnaise (adds creaminess and flavor)
- Pinch of fine salt (enhances flavor)
- Pinch of black pepper (to taste)

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, peel the skin off the prepared avocado and remove the pit. Also, peel the cooked sweet potato. Ensure the sweet potato is smooth and free of any lumps.
Step 2
Soften the cream cheese by leaving it at room temperature for a short while before use. This helps it mix much more smoothly with the other ingredients. (You can use any type of cream cheese, such as processed or block cream cheese.)
Step 3
Finely mince the peeled avocado using a fork or knife. Mashing it into small pieces will improve the texture.
Step 4
In a large bowl, combine the minced avocado, mashed sweet potato, softened cream cheese, and 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise. Add a pinch of fine salt and a pinch of black pepper. Using a spatula or fork, mash and mix everything together thoroughly until well combined and smooth. Ensure there are no large lumps.
Step 5
Once all ingredients are smoothly blended into a spreadable consistency, transfer it to a nice serving bowl. This creates an appealing presentation.
Step 6
Serve this delicious avocado and sweet potato spread generously on warm toast or crispy crackers. It’s also excellent as a sandwich filling or can be enjoyed simply by the spoonful as a satisfying snack.
