Sweet Potato Truffles, Orange Flavor

1. 1

   Chop the sweet potato into 1-cm rounds, soak in water to remove the bitterness, then steam or microwave until tender.

2. 2

   If using a microwave, refer to Step 2.

   After draining the sweet potatoes, place in a heat-resistant dish while they're still damp.

4. 4

   Wrap with plastic wrap and microwave for 4 minutes at 500W.

5. 5

   Be sure to cook until thoroughly tender.

   Remove the skins either before or after cooking, measure 100 g, add a pinch of salt while still hot, then mash.

7. 7

   Add the cocoa powder and rum, stir, then add marmalade a little at a time.

8. 8

   If you add the marmalade first, the dough will become watery.

   Roll the dough into 2-cm balls, then roll in cocoa powder to coat, then serve.

10. 10

    You could also roll in powdered sugar.

    1 teaspoon of rum will give just a subtle aroma.

    For those who like rum, add more to taste depending on the strength of the rum (or not).

    If using pure cocoa powder, substitute with the following: 1/2 teaspoon cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon powdered skim milk, and 1 teaspoon sugar.
