Peel and cut sweet potatoes into small pieces and place them in water to prevent browning.

In a pot, add enough water to cover the sweet potatoes, then add the sweet potatoes, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and black pepper.

Add 1/2 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon salt to the pot.

Boil until the sweet potatoes are tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.

Using a strainer, carefully remove the cloves and allspice from the pot.

Blend the sweet potatoes with the remaining liquid in the pot, being cautious as the liquid is hot.

Strain the blended mixture back into the pot.

Add 1 can of evaporated milk (optional) and 1 can of coconut milk to the mixture.

Start with a small amount of sugar and adjust to taste, using about 2 cups in total.

Add 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, along with the cinnamon sticks previously removed.

Stir and bring to a boil for about 20 to 30 minutes, watching carefully to prevent the milk from overflowing.

Allow the mixture to cool, using cold water in a mold if desired, or let it cool at room temperature.

Pack the mixture into ice cream bags, removing as much air as possible before sealing.

Alternatively, pour the mixture into cups and cover with aluminum foil, making small holes for popsicle sticks.

Place in the freezer to freeze completely.
