Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
Step 2
Butter and line a square 20cm brownie tin.
Step 3
Wrap the sweetpotatoes in foil, place on a baking tray and cook in the oven for 35-45 minutes or until soft. Once cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh and weigh 200g before adding into a bowl and mashing.
Step 4
In a pan over a low heat, melt the butter and chopped chocolate, stirring regularly.
Step 5
Add the light soft brown sugar to the mashed sweetpotato, beat until smooth, and gently stir in the melted chocolate and butter.
Step 6
Slowly mix in the eggs, followed by the vanilla extract, then sift in the flour, cocoa powder and ground ginger and mix well.
Step 7
Fold in the chocolate chips, pour into the brownie tin and smooth the top.
Step 8
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until just set.
Step 9
Cool the tin, then crush the brownie with a spoon. Add 200g cream cheese to the brownie and mix, then use your hands to make 8 cones.
Step 10
Stick Coco Pops Chocos pieces around each cone, and dust with icing sugar.
