Sweet Potato Custard (No Sugar)

"This is my alteration of Recipe #117205. The main difference is no sugar. I also was not concerned with it being low-fat, so I used whole eggs and milk. It's a lovely custard to bake on it's own or in a pie shell. Preparation time includes baking the sweet potatoes and simmering the dates."

  • Add the sieved dates, mashed sweet potato and banana and combine well.
  • Stir in milk and spices.
