How to Make African Sweet Potato Pudding

1. Boil 4 cups of water in a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
2. Add 2 lbs cubed sweet potatoes and cook uncovered until tender, about 25-30 minutes.
3. Drain the sweet potatoes thoroughly and return them to the saucepan.
4. Add 1 cup whole milk, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon saffron threads, and 1 teaspoon ground cardamom.
5. Stir frequently with a wooden spoon, bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
6. Reduce heat to low, and simmer uncovered for approximately 1 hour, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
7. The pudding is ready when it's smooth and thick enough to hold its shape on a spoon.
8. Using the back of a spoon, press the pudding through a fine-mesh sieve into a serving bowl.
9. Refrigerate the pudding until completely chilled (at least 4 hours).
10. Before serving, sprinkle with a pinch of additional ground cardamom.
