Boil milk and vanilla pod in a wide saucepan, then reduce to a simmer.

Form quenelles of meringue and poach in the milk for one minute per side.

Melt sugar in a pan until golden, stir in cashews, and pour onto greaseproof paper.

Allow the brittle to cool completely and break it into small pieces.

Mash the cooked sweet potato with icing sugar and a pinch of salt.

Plate the mash, top with poached meringues, and garnish with cashew brittle.
