This delightful dish is not just a treat for your taste buds; it’s a warm embrace from the kitchen that makes you feel right at home. Let’s dive into this cherished recipe that will have everyone asking for seconds!
Here’s What You’ll Need
Before we get started, gather these ingredients to make a creamy, dreamy sweet potato pudding that’ll have your family and friends raving:
- 2 cups sweet potatoes, cooked and mashed
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mini marshmallows (optional, but highly recommended!)
Time to Get Cooking!
Now that you’ve got everything together, let’s make some magic happen in the kitchen:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). It’s just the right temperature to make that pudding nice and fluffy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, sugar, evaporated milk, melted butter, beaten eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until everything is well incorporated and smooth.
- If you want an extra touch of sweetness and texture, fold in the mini marshmallows gently. They’ll melt into gooey goodness as it bakes, creating the perfect contrast to the creamy pudding.
- Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish. Spread it out evenly and pop it into the preheated oven.
- Bake for about 45 minutes or until set and the top is lightly golden. Keep an eye on it, as ovens can vary!
- Once done, let it cool for a bit before serving—if you can resist that long!
Serving Suggestions
Serve your sweet potato pudding warm with a scoop of whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra layer of indulgence. This dish is great for family gatherings, holiday feasts, or just because you feel like treating yourself! Enjoy every creamy, sweet bite!
