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.
Ingredients: [‘dates’, ‘water’, ‘eggs’, ‘molasses’, ‘sweet potato’, ‘banana’, ‘milk’, ‘cinnamon’, ‘mixed spice’, ‘nutmeg’]
Quantity of Ingredients: [“120 g dates”,”100 ml water”,”2 eggs”,”2 tablespoons molasses”,”1 cup sweet potato, cooked and mashed “,”1/2 cup banana, mashed “,”1 cup milk”,”1 teaspoon cinnamon”,”1 teaspoon mixed spice”,”1 dash nutmeg”]
Number of Servings: 6
Steps: [‘Place dates and water in a small saucepan and warm over low heat until dates have softened and the water is mostly absorbed. Press the date and water mixture through a sieve and discard the dry, fibrous bits that are left.’, ‘In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and then add the molasses.’, ‘Add the sieved dates, mashed sweet potato and banana and combine well.’, ‘Stir in milk and spices.’, ‘Pour into a baking dish or pie shell and bake in a preheated oven for 40-45 minutes at 325°F/170°C A knife inserted near the center will come out clean when the custard is set.’]
