INGREDIENTS

–  Unsweetened Desiccated Coconut – Sweet Potato – Yam – Freshly Grated Ginger – Ground Allspice – Ground Nutmeg – Ground Cinnamon – Vanilla Extract – Coconut Milk – Melted Unsalted Butter – Cornmeal – AP Flour – Sugar – Salt – Golden Raisins

INSTRUCTIONS

Rehydrate your coconut. Soak in hot water for 15 - 20 minutes to rehydrate, then squeeze out all the water.

Peel all the yams, sweet potatoes, and ginger. Set a box grater, zester side up, into a large mixing bowl. Grate the sweet potatoes, yam, and ginger using the zester.

Bring a cup of water to a boil in a small pot on medium high heat. Add in the allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla and let boil. Once this is done, pour the spice mixture into the sweet potato mixture along with the coconut milk and melted butter.

Using an electric hand mixer, combine until homogenous. In a medium bowl, combine the rehydrated coconut, cornmeal, flour, sugar, and salt. Then slowly add to the wet mixture, continuing to use the electric mixer at medium speed until combined.

Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for one hour in the preheated oven. Remove from oven after one hour of baking time, add the topping, and then continue to cook for 15 more minutes.

Serve it up for breakfast with coffee or tea for a delicious treat in the morning, or enjoy it after your favorite dinner for dessert!
