This sweet potato pudding is a favorite in Jennifer Garner's kitchen and it is easy to see why. It is simple, heartwarming, and uses wholesome ingredients that bring out the natural sweetness of the potatoes.

I love making this when I want something comforting after a long day. If you want to take it up a notch, a little extra cinnamon or a splash of vanilla makes a wonderful addition to the base.

Ingredients

  • 3 large sweet potatoes, roasted and peeled
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a medium baking dish.

  2. 2

    Place the cooked and peeled sweet potatoes into a large mixing bowl and mash them until they are mostly smooth.

  3. 3

    Add the softened butter, sugar, eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt to the bowl.

  4. 4

    Use a hand mixer or a sturdy whisk to beat the mixture until it is creamy and well combined.

  5. 5

    Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

  6. 6

    Bake for 45 to 50 minutes until the top is set and lightly golden around the edges.

  7. 7

    Let the pudding cool for about 10 minutes before you serve it warm.

💡 Tips

Serve this warm with a dollop of whipped cream on top if you want a special treat. If you have leftovers, keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days and reheat them in the microwave.
