Ingredients

  • 3 cups mashed cooked sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup coconut flakes
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup self-rising flour

Directions:

  1. First mix the mashed sweet potatoes with the sugar, coconut, raisins, eggs and vanilla. If it seems too thick, add the cream.
