Notes

Pudding: Use instant vanilla pudding only (3.4 oz box). Do not prepare it. Add the dry powder directly. French vanilla instant pudding is a great substitute.
Sweet potatoes: Canned (well-drained) or freshly baked both work. Do not boil fresh sweet potatoes. Bake them whole to cook them.
Doneness: The center should jiggle slightly (like Jello) when you pull it from the oven. It firms fully as it cools.
Cooling: Cool completely (minimum 2 hours) before slicing for clean, set slices.
Storage: Refrigerate leftovers covered for up to 4 days.
