American Sweet Potato Pudding
Saw this being made on huey's cooking adventures and well i love sweet potato recipes though i plan on fiddling with it a little to bring the sugar content down and make more diabetic friendly but for now posting as huey stated. Though huey didn't do this i couldn't see why you could not make a meringue out of the egg whites and swirl on the top and return to the oven for a few minutes to brown and cook. Times are estimated.
Steps
Preheat oven to 165c fan forced.
Mix together the sweet potato , polenta , brown sugar , salt and ground ginger in a large bowl.
Whisk the egg and egg yolks together with the vanilla and cream and then add this to the sweet potato mixture and mix well.
Transfer the mixture to a lightly oiled gratin and smooth the top and cook in the oven for about 30 to 35 minutes until golden and set.
Sprinkle with a little caster sugar and serve in individual bowls with a dollop of cream or ice cream on the side.
