This dairy-free sweet potato pudding recipe is from Andrew Schloss, the author of Almost from Scratch: 600 Recipes for the New Convenience Cuisine. His cookbook isn’t exclusively non-dairy, but it offers many recipes and ideas for cooking with convenient ingredients.
In this recipe, Andrew uses canned sweet potatoes – perhaps some leftover from holiday stock ups! And rather than dairy milk or cream, he opts for coconut milk. The flavor and richness is a delicious complement to sweet potatoes.
He keeps it simple with just four ingredients and five minutes of preparation, but don’t be afraid to experiment a little. Toss in a little cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice, add a dash of vanilla, or top the pudding with some dairy-free whip or pomegranate arils.
