Vegan Sweet Potato Pudding

Vegan Sweet Potato Pudding is the vegan version of this popular dessert enjoyed in Jamaica and the Caribbean throughout the year! It is  very moist, rich, and indulgent!

It is easy to make, using a food processor or a blender. I must say it wasn't as easy to make !

I peel and chop the potatoes. Process in a food processor, add canned coconut milk, gluten-free flour, and spices and pop it in an oven. I do a special step to get the custard topping  by adding extra sweetened coconut milk halfway during baking.

This recipe is a must try, there isn't much room to fail if you are trying it for the first time. You will be happy you tried it!
