Ingredients

  • 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
  • 1 (12 oz) can evaporated milk
  • ½ cup raisins

Instructions

  • 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.
