"These are yummy yams! I only make 1 large yam for the two of us and just eyeball the rest of the ingredients. Cream cheese is a lovely alternative in place of the goat cheese. I find that using the thinner yams the cooking time is significantly reduced. Sometimes it takes between 45 minutes to an hour for the initial baking. If you want to serve 8 people...cut yams in half instead of only the top 1/3. "

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400F degrees.

Cut top 1/3 off yams.

Step 4

Scrape out insides into a medium bowl, leaving a 1/4" of flesh on inside of yam to create a bowl; scrape out lid too.

Step 5

Mix yams with the butter, goat cheese or cream cheese and the coconut cream; add salt and pepper to taste.

Step 6

Fill shells with the yam mixture and bake in 350F degree oven for 20-30 minutes or until slightly brown on top.

Step 7

Sprinkle with toasted coconut if using before serving.
