Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar. You can also substitute coconut oil for oleo for a dairy-free option. Make sure to evenly grate the sweet potatoes for consistent baking. If the pudding appears too watery, you might want to add a bit of cornstarch to thicken it up.
