    Why we ❤️ it

    If you are ever short on time or energy and have to come up with a dessert to please everybody, then Jalea de Batata Dulce (Sweet Potato Pudding) is just what you need.

    It's perfect for the busy woman (or man).

    Dulce de Batata is one of my go-to desserts on those days that I am feeling a bit too lazy. I have yet to see anyone thumb their nose at it, most certainly not a Dominican. We love this dessert, however strange it may seem to outsiders. And the best thing is how uncomplicated it is. Perfect for when we don't want to push ourselves too much.

    About this recipe

    This is a dessert that has little variation in its preparation, yet I suppose it may be prepared differently in some Dominican homes. If you have a different way of making it, I'd love to hear about it, let us know.

    ¡Buen provecho!

    Ingredients

    • ½ pound sweet potatoes, , boiled soft [0.2 kg]
    • 2 cups coconut milk
    • 1 cup evaporated milk
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
    • 1 teaspoon clove powder
    • ⅓ cup sugar , (white, granulated) (or more, to taste)
    • ¼ cup raisins, (optional)
    • ¼ cup toasted coconut flakes, (optional)

    Instructions
     

    • Boil batata
      Boil batata: Boil batata in unsalted water until it's fork-tender (about 20 min). Remove from the water and cool to room temperature. Crush a bit with a potato masher or fork.
    • Blend
      Blend: Mix sweet potatoes, coconut milk, milk, cinnamon, clove, and ⅓ cup of sugar and blend until it is very smooth.
    • Cook pudding
      Cook pudding: Pour into a saucepan and add the raisins and salt. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly to avoid burning the bottom. Once it has thickened to yogurt-like consistency, taste sugar, and add more to taste if you find it necessary (sweetness was fine to my taste). Remove from the heat.
    • Chill
      Chill: Pour into a metal bowl and stir until it has cooled to room temperature. Chill.
    • Serve
      Serve: Pour into individual bowls, sprinkle with coconut flakes, and serve.

    Tips and Notes

    Can you make it with orange sweet potato? Yes, the flavor and consistency will be different, but if that's what you have, give it a try and see if you like it.
