Step 2

For the frosting, cut a line around the skin of the sweet potato then boil with the skin on till you can penetrate it with a fork. Take the potato out and place into an ice/water bath. Place your dates into a cup with some of the boiling water from your sweet potato to soften them. Once potato is cooled, peel the skin off, it should just slide off. Chop the dates very finely and place into a blender with the sweet potato and the avocado. Blend till no more dates are visible. Now melt your chocolate. Place the blended ingredients into a mixer, add the maple syrup, vanilla, and chocolate. Mix until smooth on a high setting then place into the freezer for 30 minutes. Take out and mix again until fluffy, add to a piping bad and decorate your cupcakes once cooled!
