note
These sweet potato and coconut snowflakes are what I reach for when I want Ethan to chew something soft that still feels a bit special. The texture stays moist enough for sensitive mouths, but firm enough that I can break pieces into tiny bites.
Shaping soft batter can be tricky, so I pour it into small holiday silicone molds that keep the snowflake edges clean even with wetter dough . When the mixture is very soft, I scrape and fold it gently with a heat resistant silicone spatula that lets me move everything without tearing the batter .
