Mini Sweet Potato Pecan Pie Pudding

I re-wrote this opening sentence a few times. How do you introduce yourself to readers who don´t know you at all? How do you break the ice? Answer: there´s no easy way to do it BUT to simply say “Hi there! Johlene here from the blog Flavours & Frosting, where I blog about anything and everything DESSERTS”. (I hope that wasn´t too bad…ha!)

Ok so these Mini Sweet Potato Pecan Pie Puddings are simply delicious! They´re made of a sweet potato pudding mix, and topped with a brown sugar and pecan topping that becomes a lava of ooey gooye caramely goodness!

RECIPE: Mini Sweet Potato Pecan Pie Pudding

(this recipe is based on this pumpkin pie cobbler recipe by Laurens Latest)
Ingredients

Sweet Potato Pudding:
1 cup + 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
pinch of salt
0.75 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
0.75 cup sweet potato puree
0.25 cup milk
5.25 cup melted butter or vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Pecan Brown Sugar Topping:
1 cup brown sugar
0.5 cup chopped pecans
1.5 cups very hot water

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 35oºF/175ºC.
2. In a medium sized bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, salt, brown sugar and pumpkin spice. Set to the side.
3. In a smaller bowl, stir sweet potato, milk, melted butter and vanilla together to combine.
4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix to create a thick batter.
5. Pour into a large muffin tin with 6 holes or a medium sized muffin tin with 12 holes. Fill halfway up the holes.
6. In a separate bowl, stir sugar, brown sugar and pecans together. Spread over the top of the batter evenly.
7. Pour hot water over the entire thing, without stirring, and bake for 25 – 30 minutes or once the middles are set. Tip: place on a baking sheet incase it bubbles over.
8. Cool 5 – 10 minutes before serving.
9. Serve hot with freshly whipped cream!

This is how I make my own pumpkin spice in case you run out or you don´t live in a country where you can buy it (Me me!), AND I created this video over a year ago to show how I make my own whipped cream. I hope both of these recipes help you guys!
