That seems kind of weird to me, kind of like pumpkin spice stuff. Sweet potato (or yams I guess) and pumpkin feel like "savoury" things to me, so it seems kind of weird to have them be a dessert item. I'm sure it tastes good though.
I get where you are coming from. It is a mix of brown sugar and butter mainly. I think if you used those two things you can make anything into a dessert item. We also also like to drink root beer which is mainly spiced with things that most countries put in their cough syrup. If anything there are other countries that use the sweet potato in dessert type items, but they have changed in both color and flavor profile. Do a google search for ube and taro and see how they are used in Asian countries. I dont know if you have boba tea where you are at but places where I go make a killer ube boba. It looks amazing because it has this rich purple color.
Purple is one of the colors I like the most and when I first saw ube boba my mind broke. Taro is also good but its like a more pastel purple. I think the best way that I have had ube so far though is at SomiSomi in some ice cream taiyaki.
We call them candied yams and they usually have marshmallows baked on top of them. Its a thanksgiving thing where I am from because I think if you ate them more than one time a year you would roll over and just die.

Ube is beautiful to be honest
