How to Make Sweet Potato Custard

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. In a large bowl, mash 1 ½ cups cooked sweet potato until smooth.
  3. Add ½ cup mashed ripe banana and mix well.
  4. Pour in 1 cup of milk (whole milk recommended) and blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  5. Whisk in ⅓ cup packed light brown sugar, 2 large egg yolks, and a pinch of salt until thoroughly combined.
  6. Lightly grease a 1-quart baking dish or casserole.
  7. Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  8. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon brown sugar and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  9. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top of the custard.
  10. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. The custard should be set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  11. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
