Sweet Potato breadIngredients4 pounds of sweet potatoes, peeled and grated
2� cups light brown sugar (az�car crema)
10 +/- sticks of cinnamon (ground cinnamon can substitute)
1 can of coconut milk (13.5 oz)
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon lime zest (optional)
1 can evaporated milk or regular milk
Grated ginger or ginger powder (to taste; add carefully)
Pinch of salt.
Method1. Peel and grate sweet potatoes. Boil the coconut milk, evaporated milk and cinnamon, the ginger, butter and light brown sugar (az�car crema).
2. To this mixture, first add the grated mass of sweet potatoes and then the lime zest. Move the mass around and stir so that it is not too sticky nor too dry.
3. Bake it in the oven in a pre-greased baking mold of your preference for 1 hour at 350°F.
Notes: Remember that the az�car crema will give it a more rustic flavor. Milk can be regular or evaporated. Be careful with the ginger because too much ginger can make it bitter. In addition to cinnamon, you can also use ground cloves (optional).
