Steps:
- 1 Mix the coconut, pumpkin, sweet potato, sugar, spices, raisins, flour, corn flour, and salt together in a large bowl.
- 2 Add the beaten egg, melted butter/margarine, and milk. Mix thoroughly by hand to combine. You should have a thick mixture that drops slowly from a spoon. Add more flour if the mixture is not thick enough; add a bit more milk if it is too thick.
- 3 Fresh green Banana leaves are traditionally used to wrap the conkie mixture. If you have these, strip leaves from stalk with a sharp knife then briefly singe them over an open flame to make them more pliable. Cut the leaves into individual 8 inch squares.
- 4 Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of the mixture into the centre of the banana leaf. Fold the leaf around the mixture, taking care not to rip the leaf.
- 5 Steam the conkies on a rack over boiling water in a large saucepan for 1 hour or until they are firm.
- 6 Unwrap and enjoy!

- In a bowl mix together the grated coconut, pumpkin, sweet potato, flour, spices, sugar, vanilla extract and almond essence. Mix them together.
- If you are wrapping with banana leaves: If you are using fresh banana leaves then you need to wash them and quickly pass them over fire. But if you got the leaves from the grocery store then they have already been prepped and washed. Spoon 3-4 tablespoons of the batter to the center of the leaf. Take each sides and bring them to the center then take each ends and bring them to the center. Using a string, wrap it around the leaf being sure to tie the ends together. Make sure to wrap the conkies tightly so water wouldn't get into them.
