Ingredients
- 2 cups mashed sweet potatoes
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that the oven is hot and ready for baking the pudding.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 cups of mashed sweet potatoes with 1/2 cup of brown sugar. Use a fork or a potato masher to blend them together until smooth and well incorporated.
- Add 1/4 cup of milk to the sweet potato mixture. This will help to create a creamy texture. Mix thoroughly until the milk is fully absorbed.
- Crack 2 eggs into the bowl and add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whisk the mixture until the eggs are fully combined and the mixture is smooth.
- Sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. These spices will enhance the flavor of the pudding. Stir well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking. A 9-inch pie dish or an 8x8 inch square baking dish works well for this recipe.
- Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the pudding is set and the top is slightly golden.
- Once baked, remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the pudding to firm up a bit more.
- Serve the BFL Sweet Potato Pudding warm, optionally topped with whipped cream or a sprinkle of additional cinnamon for added flavor.
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality sweet potatoes for the best flavor and texture. Roasting them beforehand can enhance their natural sweetness.
- Make sure your eggs and milk are at room temperature to ensure smoother mixing and more even baking.
- Don't overmix the batter—blend just until ingredients are combined to keep the pudding light and tender.
- For extra richness, consider replacing some milk with heavy cream or adding a splash of bourbon to the mixture.
- Check the pudding's doneness by inserting a knife near the center—it should come out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the pudding to rest for 10-15 minutes after baking to help it set and make serving easier.
- For a gourmet touch, garnish with toasted pecans, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce before serving.
