Can I use a different nut butter for the brownie?

Yes, the recipe suggests either almond butter or peanut butter, both of which will contribute to the brownie's rich, pliable texture.

How do I make the salted date caramel smooth?

To achieve a smooth salted date caramel, add soft pitted dates to a food processor with the other ingredients and pulse until creamy, adding more coconut milk to adjust consistency as needed.

What kind of sweet potato should I use for the mashed sweet potato?

Any variety of sweet potato will work, just ensure it's cooked and mashed well to integrate smoothly into the brownie batter for a fudgy texture.

Can I prepare the brownie ahead of time?

Yes, you can bake the skillet brownie and let it cool completely. Store it covered at room temperature and warm slightly before serving with the freshly made salted date caramel and ice cream.

What does 'triple chocolate' refer to in this recipe?

How to Prepare Triple Chocolate Sweet Potato Walnut Skillet Brownie [Vegan]

To Make the Date Caramel:

Add soft pitted dates to a food processor with the rest of the ingredients, pulse until smooth. Add additional coconut milk to modify the consistency.

To Make the Brownie:

Preheat the oven to 350°F and coat a skillet with coconut oil. Heat your almond butter or peanut butter in the microwave for 15 seconds for a more pliable texture, then whisk it together with the sweet potato and vanilla extract in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, stir together all the dry ingredients (minus nuts and chocolate) and combine. Pour dry into wet and fold in the chocolate chips and crushed walnuts.
Distribute the batter into the greased skillet and smooth out the top. Top with additional walnuts and chocolate chips. Bake on the center oven rack 20 minutes, let cool for 10 and serve with salted caramel and vegan vanilla ice cream.
