Pudding Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

    Peel and chop the Jamaican sweet potatoes into small pieces. Boil them in a pot of water until they are tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Mash the Potatoes

    In a mixing bowl, mash the boiled sweet potatoes until smooth. Make sure there are no lumps for a creamy pudding texture.

  3. 3

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, brown sugar, coconut milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

  4. 4

    Add Dry Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

  5. 5

    Bake the Pudding

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the batter into a greased baking dish. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  6. 6

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the pudding to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
