African Sweet Potato Pudding image

This was probably the inspiration for the filling to the sweet pototo pies found in America these days. Although not low-fat by any means, it is simple and satisfying. Recipe by Angela Self Medearis. *Cook time does not include refreigeration time.

Time 1h40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 quart water
6 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes (about 2 pounds)
3 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon powdered saffron
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom

Steps:

  • Boil the water in a heavy saucepan. Drop in the sweet potato cubes and cook, uncovered, until tender - about 25 to 30 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pan.
  • Add the milk, cream, sugar, saffron and cardamom. Stirring often with a wooden spoon, bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for about 1 hour, stirring often. The pudding is done when it is smooth and is thick enough to hold its shape almost solidly in the spoon.
  • With the back of the spoon, rub the pudding through a fine sieve into a serving bowl.
  • Refrigerate the pudding until cool. Before serving, sprinkle the top with a little additional ground cardamom.
