Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Sweet potatoes
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 3/4 cup Brown sugar
- 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup Cornmeal
- 1/3 cup Butter
- 1/2 cup Raisins
- 1 tbsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp Ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 cup Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch baking dish and set aside.
Peel and grate the sweet potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated sweet potatoes with coconut milk, brown sugar, flour, cornmeal, and melted butter. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Add the raisins, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to the sweet potato mixture. Stir to distribute the spices and raisins evenly.
Gradually add the water to the mixture, stirring until a thick yet pourable consistency is achieved. The batter should not be overly stiff or runny.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 90 minutes, or until the top is firm and golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
Once baked, remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool completely before slicing and serving. The pudding will firm up as it cools.
Serve the Caribbean Sweet Potato Pudding on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence. Enjoy!
