I found this recipe on a website for the cuisine of Belize. I love sweet potatoes so this will be made soon. This is very similar to a bread pudding with the substitution of sweet potatoes for bread.

The sweet potatoes used in this recipe is not the American yellow yam. It is the one called bonito and has a purple skin. I would also add two cups of water.

We love sweet potatoes too. My first Belize recipe. Made as posted using pure vanilla which along with the coconut milk gave it a nice touch. We thought it a tad sweet too but very flavorful.

Delicious and super easy to do! And the smell is to die for. I love the ginger root in this. I made a half recipe but followed all the timings as stated and then put into 9 inch square baking dish. I also used cinnamon. DH thought it was a tad sweet so I think that when I make it again I will use nutmeg instead of cinnamon. Notice the dietary fiber and potassium of this-high. Thanks TLu for sharing a wonderful Belizean recipe. Made for ZWT4 the Flying Dutchess'.
