Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium (about 2 lbs) sweet potatoes
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 0.5 cups (melted) unsalted butter
- 1 cups coconut milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or a similar-sized casserole dish and set aside.
Peel the sweet potatoes and grate them using a box grater or food processor with a grating attachment.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated sweet potatoes, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, and coconut milk. Mix well to evenly coat the sweet potatoes.
Add the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, salt, and shredded coconut to the bowl. Stir the mixture until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
In a separate small bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Pour the beaten eggs into the sweet potato mixture and stir until evenly combined.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pone is set in the center.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Sweet Potato Pone can be served warm or at room temperature.
