Sweet Potato Pudding
Ready In: 1 hr 10 mins
Serves: 9
Ingredients
Pudding
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 1⁄3 cup evaporated skim milk or 1⁄3 cup half-and-half
- 1⁄2 cup light brown sugar or 1⁄2 cup dark brown sugar
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 tablespoon rum (optional)
Topping
- 1⁄2 cup coconut, shredded
- 1⁄2 cup brown sugar
- 1⁄2 cup pecans, chopped
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
Directions
- Peel and cook the sweet potatoes until fork tender. I boil them, but you can also roast them in the skins and scoop out the flesh.
- Preheat oven to 350.
- In the mixer, combine eggs and sugar and beat until well mixed.
- Add milk.
- Add sweet potatoes and mix until all lumps are gone and the consistency is light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, mix brown sugar, coconut, and pecans with 3T of melted butter.
- Pour sweet potatoes in a greased 9x9 casserole and bake at 350 for 20 minutes.
- Sprinkle the topping evenly over the pudding and bake for an additional 20 minutes.
- Notes: Sometimes I have more pudding than will fit in a 9x9 pan, so I make a second, smaller batch.
- I don't split up the baking - I put the topping on and bake for 30m.
