CUBAN BONIATILLO (SWEET POTATO PASTE DESSERT)
This very sweet little dessert is made from the Cuban sweet potato called a boniato. There really is no substitution, but if you are feeling brave a white sweet potato might be OK. You can find boniato in Latin grocery stores. This is really sweet, and is served in small doses. We like it after a garlicy meal, such as Cuban Roast Pork and Mojo Crillio, served with little cups of strong espresso. This is not a typical America dessert - it's not chocolate cake, not a hot fudge sundae - so be ready for something new - its an adventure!

Steps:
- Peel the batatas and cut into 1-inch chunks. Place them in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and boil until they are tender but not mushy, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Drain, then place the batatas in a blender or food processor and process to a smooth puree. If the mixture is too thick (like dry mashed potatoes), add a little water.
- Place the sugar, 1/2 cup water, lime and cinnamon stick in a heavy saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the syrup reaches the soft-thread stage (230 degrees), about 15 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low, remove the lime and cinnamon stick, and add the batata puree, stirring constantly. Cook for 3 or 4 minutes, stirring, until the mixture is well blended.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the beaten egg yolks. Return to low heat and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring.
- Stir in the Sherry and pour the mixture into a dessert dish, like a 7-inch souffle dish. Chill thoroughly before serving. Serve with whipped cream if desired.
