Simple steps and directions to make sweet potato dessert at home- One of the best sweet potato desserts

First of all, begin with preparing the pudding first. Combine sweet potato with water and some granulated sugar to make the batter. Do not forget about the rest of the ingredients. Take them in a saucepan and get started, mate! You need to maintain the flames at high heat. Bring everything to a boil in the meantime. Once that is done, now you should gradually reduce the heat, cover the saucepan, and leave it to simmer for a while. Keep this arrangement going for a while until the sweet potatoes become tender and cooked. You will need about fifteen to twenty minutes for this.

Allow the mixture to cool down for a while before you transfer it to the food processor and make a thick puree out of it. Transfer to a pan which should be shallow so that the surface area is more. Cool it in the refrigerator for fifteen minutes and then transfer the puree to the freezer for another five minutes. These are small yet vital steps towards making the most amazing sweet potato bread pudding. Make sure you do not skip them. In the next step, you need to preheat the oven to 350°F. Take a baking dish and then spray it with some grease. You need a water bath, so make sure you have already a kettle of water on the boil.

Now, you need a bowl to whisk the eggs first. To this add a cup of milk along with some vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sweet potato puree.  Add the bread chunks and stir them until everything has been mixed well. Now pour this mixture into the baking dish. Usually, you need to bake your pudding for at least forty-five minutes to one hour for perfect texture and flavor. The sauce is prepared freshly right before you serve the pudding. Finally, you can enjoy your pudding with some sauce and even whipped cream if you like.

How to store the leftover pudding

If you have some extra sweet potato bread pudding that you could not finish last night, store it in an airtight container inside the refrigerator. Make sure you do not drizzle the sauce or whipped cream for this batch because they taste best when added right before serving.
