Ingredients

• 2 lbs Sweet potatoes
• 1 cup Coconut milk
• 3/4 cup Brown sugar
• 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup Cornmeal
• 1/3 cup Butter
• 1/2 cup Raisins
• 1 tbsp Vanilla extract
• 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp Ground nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1/4 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

Peel and grate the sweet potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated sweet potatoes with coconut milk, brown sugar, flour, cornmeal, and melted butter. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.

Step 4

Add the raisins, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to the sweet potato mixture. Stir to distribute the spices and raisins evenly.

Step 5

Gradually add the water to the mixture, stirring until a thick yet pourable consistency is achieved. The batter should not be overly stiff or runny.

Step 6

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 90 minutes, or until the top is firm and golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.

Step 8

Once baked, remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool completely before slicing and serving. The pudding will firm up as it cools.

Step 9

Serve the Caribbean Sweet Potato Pudding on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence. Enjoy!
