Dulce de batata

Dulce de batata is a jelly-like dessert prepared with a base of mashed sweet potatoes, sugar, vanilla flavoring, and a thickening agent. When cooked, dulce is left to set and should always be well-chilled. It is usually enjoyed as a dessert, which is traditionally served with cheese to create a Latin American favorite known as vigilante or Martín Fierro. Although the origin of dulce de batata is often disputed, it is enjoyed throughout Latin America.
