Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 1.5 cups milk
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a medium-sized baking dish or casserole pan.
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. With adult supervision, cook the sweet potatoes until they are soft. You can either boil them in a pot of water for about 15 minutes or microwave them with a little water in a covered dish for 6-8 minutes.
Once the sweet potatoes are cooked and slightly cooled, mash them in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Kids can have fun helping mash with a fork or a potato masher!
Add the milk, brown sugar, and melted butter to the mashed sweet potatoes. Stir until well combined. This is a great opportunity for kids to help mix!
Next, stir in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Make sure the spices are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
With adult help, crack the eggs into a separate bowl and whisk them. Then, add the whisked eggs into the sweet potato mixture and mix until fully blended.
Pour the sweet potato mixture into the greased baking dish and spread it evenly with a spoon or spatula.
Bake the pudding in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is just slightly jiggly. Let an adult take care of this step since the oven is involved.
Allow the pudding to cool for 10 minutes before serving. It's delicious on its own or topped with a dollop of whipped cream!
