Tried this recipe. I added almond extract as well and it was awesome!!!! Loved it :-) Thanks for sharing
I MUST TELL YOU THAT ONLY THE JAMACIAN SWEET POTATO PUDDING IS THE BEST!. YOU SHOULD MENTION WHAT KIND OF POTATO YOU USE FOR YOUR PUDDING, THOUGH.
I AM A COOK. AND I CAN TELL WHEN A DISH IS EXCELLENT.
HOWEVER, WHY DON'T YOU MAKE THE JAM. POTATO PUDDING "CREAMY" ON THE TOP.?.. HAVE YOU EVER EATEN ONE, OR TRY IT ? GREAT!!
you nu see the thing sell off
@Tami. How do you incorporate the almond extract in this recipe?
Make sure to use Bonita Potatoes also add some White Rum and Brandy to the coconut mixtuer the coconut mixture, leave a little behind, melt some butter add brown sugar and the coconut mixture and pour on top before putting it in the oven. If possible use a convection oven for best results, it replicates the "hell a top hell a bottom" method.

To make the jelly topping for this pudding recipe. I mixed a half cup of coconut milk, a tablespoon of butter, two teaspoons of coconut flavored rum, a tablespoon of flour and sugar and salt to taste. When the top of the pudding solidified (after about 30 minutes), I poured the mixture on top of the pudding and let it bake another half an hour. Tastee!
its good the best thing you could ever eat
