Sweet Potato & Toffee Ice Cream

One of my favorite sides to a grilled steak is a sweet potato topped with cinnamon, butter and brown sugar.   I made this ice cream to taste just like that but without the butter.  I added in the toffee bits for a little crunch factor but they are optional.  This is a perfect dessert on Thanksgiving for any pie haters you may have.
