- 3 pounds sweet potato
- 3 cinnamon sticks
- 2 cups water
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 5 cups milk
- ½ teaspoon lime zest
- 1 ¼ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla

Boil sweet potatoes in two cups of water with cinnamon sticks and salt until soft, about 10 minutes. Remove cinnamon sticks and discard.
Blend sweet potatoes with milk. Depending on the size of your blender, you might need to blend it in batches. Strain into a large sauce pan.
Add in lime zest, sugar, vanilla, evaporated milk and raisins. Heat at medium-low heat, stirring constantly to avoid sticking. Once it has thickened to pudding-like consistency, remove from heat.
Let cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally. Transfer to mason jars and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Serve in individual bowls.
