🥘Ingredients

For the Pudding

2 large sweet potatoes (about 1.5 lbs)
1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Topping (optional)

1/4 cup toasted pecans, chopped
2 tablespoons shredded coconut

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2Prick the sweet potatoes several times with a fork, then place them on a baking sheet and roast for 45-50 minutes until they are very soft and the skin begins to wrinkle.
3Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes.
4Once cool enough to handle, peel off the skin and place the flesh into a food processor or blender.
5Add the coconut milk, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt to the food processor.
6Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
7Pour the pudding mixture into a greased 8×8 inch baking dish.
8Smooth the top with a spatula, then bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes until the edges are set and the center jiggles slightly when shaken.
9Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes.
10Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours until fully chilled and firm.
11Before serving, sprinkle with toasted pecans and shredded coconut if desired.
