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