Fijian Sweet Potato Pudding

Sweet potato, or kumala, has been grown in Fiji since ancient times and remains a beloved everyday food. Baking it into a coconut-sweetened pudding turns the humble root into a dessert that appears at family gatherings and church feasts across the islands.

What makes it great: the sweet potato melts into the coconut cream as it bakes, creating a smooth, custard-like pudding with a caramelized golden top. It needs only a handful of ingredients and delivers enormous comfort in return.
