Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, whisking often.Mix cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of water until smooth. Whisking constantly, slowly add cornstarch mixture to sauce. Stir until sauce bubbles and thickens, 30 seconds to 1 minute.To serve, cut each sweet potato open, fluff insides with a fork, and top with a generous spoonful of sauce. Offer coconut to add to taste.Makes 8 servings.Nutrition: calories 232; protein 3g; carbohydrate 56g; fat 1g (2% cal from fat); cholesterol 0mg; sodium 21mg; vitamin A 26,788 IU; fiber 5g
