Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Place them in the air fryer basket and cook at 180°C (350°F) for about 30 minutes, or until they are tender and soft when pierced with a fork. Ensure they are cooked through.
Step 2
Carefully peel the skin off the cooked sweet potatoes while they are still warm, which makes peeling easier. Mash the sweet potatoes in a bowl using a fork or a masher until smooth. If they are very hot, let them cool slightly.
Step 3
Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Place the egg whites in a clean, dry bowl for making meringue. Keep the egg yolks in a separate bowl.
Step 4
Using an electric mixer or a whisk, beat the egg whites until they become foamy. Gradually add the 1 Tbsp of sugar and 1 Tbsp of lemon juice while continuing to beat. Whip until stiff peaks form – this means when you lift the whisk, the meringue holds its shape with a pointy tip.
Step 5
Add the 2 egg yolks to the mashed sweet potatoes and mix gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as it can make the batter too dense.
Step 6
Stir in the 2 Tbsp of milk into the sweet potato and yolk mixture. If the batter seems too stiff, you can add a little more milk until it reaches a smooth consistency.
Step 7
Gently fold the stiffly beaten meringue into the sweet potato batter. Add the meringue in 2-3 additions, carefully folding it in with a spatula. Use an under-and-over motion to avoid deflating the meringue, which will keep the bread light and fluffy.
Step 8
Prepare your baking molds by lining them with parchment paper or lightly greasing them. Spoon the sweet potato batter into the prepared molds, filling them about 70-80% full. Smooth the top surface for a neater appearance.
