Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Baking dish
  • Potato masher or fork
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Oven

Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 4 cups of cubed bread chunks day-old bread works best
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 1 cup of heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup of granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 cup of raisins optional
  • 2 tablespoons of melted butter

Instructions

  • Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Boil the sweet potato cubes in a pot of water until they are tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash the sweet potatoes with a potato masher or fork until smooth.
  • Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until well combined.
  • Combine Sweet Potatoes and Wet Ingredients: Add the mashed sweet potatoes to the bowl with the wet ingredients and whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  • Prepare the Bread Chunks: In a separate bowl, combine the bread chunks with the raisins (if using) and melted butter. Toss to coat the bread chunks evenly.
  • Assemble the Bread Pudding: Grease a baking dish with a little butter or non-stick spray. Spread the bread chunks evenly in the baking dish, then pour the sweet potato mixture over the bread chunks, ensuring all pieces are well coated.
  • Bake the Bread Pudding: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pudding is set. You can test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
  • Cool and Serve: Allow the sweet potato bread pudding to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce, if desired.
