This is a fast recipe to prepare and has a fabulous different flair! It calls for coconut milk, sweet potatoes and Jamaican dark rum, which are all indigenous to the Caribbean. My family loves it, mon!

In spite of naysaying from my husband, father and brother, this turned out to be a fantastic and delicious (very rich) recipe! <br /> <br />I added rum soaked raisins, and rough chopped dark chocolate. Instead of using a boxed sweet potato, I whipped up a batch of candied sweet potatoes (Tossed a couple of oven roasted sweet potatoes with the following syrup: 1/4 c butter, 1/2 c brown sugar, 1/4 c orange juice, 2 t cinnamon, and good quality salt to taste)
