pen-patat-(haitian-sweet-potato-bread)

Pen patat is a traditional Haitian dessert that you must have on your table for the holidays.It is s a delicious Haitian dessert that is made with grated Japanese potatoes, fresh Caribbean spices, and rum. It is a preferred dessert in Haiti and is often served during holidays and special occasions. This recipe is easy to follow, however it takes a bit of effort. In Haitian cuisine we use fresh ingredients for example, we prefer to make our coconut milk rather than canned coconut milk and yes there is a big difference in flavor! For this recipe i used a specific canned of coconut milk, i couldn't find any whole coconut. I highly recommend using the whole coconut instead if possible. This cooking process for this recipe starts out with cooking it on your stove top and finishing in the oven. Check my SWEET POTATO BREAD ESSENTIAL list to see the specific coconut milk and other ingredients that i used.
