Black Tree Blood Meets Sweet Potato and Ice-cold Madagascar Vanilla

Ice:

1. For the ice cream, put the sugar and five egg yolks in a bowl and beat until frothy.
2. In a saucepan, add the milk, the cream and the vanilla pod and the vanilla stick. Bring everything to the boil while stirring.
3. Remove from heat and pour into the sugar-egg yolk mixture while stirring quickly (always pour hot into cold). Put everything back in the pot. Heat, stirring constantly, but do not bring to the boil.
4. Strain everything through a sieve and refrigerate. Pour into the ice cream maker if desired.

Sweet potato:

1. Wrap the sweet potatoes in aluminum foil and place in the oven at 180 ° for about 1 hour until they give slightly when pressed. Let cool down for several hours.
2. Remove from the skin, which should now come off almost by itself, and cut into cubes.
3. Before serving, heat a pan with maple syrup and butter and insert the cinnamon stick. Bring to the boil until large bubbles form and the mass is reduced.
4. Add the sweet potato to the reduced mixture and turn. Finally, deglaze the straw with three caps and serve hot with the fresh vanilla ice cream.
