Equipment
- Blender, high-speed, like a Vitamix, preferred
- Pressure cooker, optional.
Ingredients
- 2 yellow-fleshed sweet potatoes medium-large
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1/4 cup date paste or maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup plant milk divided
Instructions
- Steam the sweet potatoes until they are very soft. If using an electric pressure cooker, add 1 cup of water and set sweet potatoes on a trivet. Set pressure cooker to 30 minutes on high pressure. Allow for a natural pressure release for 10 minutes and then release any remaining pressure. Remove skins and add cooked sweet potato to blender.
- Add 2 peeled bananas, date paste or maple syrup, vanilla, and ½ cup plant milk to start. Blend on high speed, adding more plant milk if needed for a smooth, pudding consistency.
- Remove to pudding cups or use as desired. Bananas in the pudding will oxidize to a little grey color if exposed to air. You can place a piece of parchment on top to slow this when stored in the fridge or just stir this top layer in before serving. Store up to 3 days in refrigerator.
