In fact, as pumpkin spice lattes and apple-cinnamon spice everything take over store shelves, frozen treats have gotten their own autumnal glow-up. These days, you can find pumpkin pie ice cream, maple leaf ice cream sandwiches and even caramel apple mochi ice cream at places like Trader Joe's and Costco.
The concept is simple: bake a sweet potato until soft and caramelized, freeze it, then eat it cold, straight from the freezer. The hype around this snack is massive. Commenters rave about its natural sweetness, creamy texture and dessert-like flavor. One TikTok user even proclaimed, “It literally tastes like an ice cream bar.”

“These sweet potatoes are baked to caramel-sweet perfection, then frozen to achieve an almost popsicle-like texture,” he wrote in an Instagram post. “In Taiwan, these are so commonplace you’ll find them packaged in 7-Eleven. And oddly enough, it’s some of the best sweet potatoes you’ve ever had.”

Once your oven is hot, put your sweet potato directly on the oven rack and let it bake for 40 to 80 minutes, depending on the size and shape of your potato. (Place a sheet pan on the rack below to catch any drips.) To tell when your potato is done, poke and tap the skin. It should feel separate from the flesh and have a hollow sound. Then, pull out your potato and let it cool. Once it’s fully cooled, put it in a freezer-safe bag and place your potato in the freezer for about four hours.
