Creamy Sweet Potato Brûlée
Ingredients
- 2 c. heavy whipping cream
- 7 large egg yolks
- ⅔ c. sugar
- 1 t. vanilla extract, good quality
- ¼ t. salt
- 1 c. cooked and well-mashed sweet potatoes
- Extra sugar for caramelizing
- Berries for garnish, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, etc.
Instructions
- Preheat oven 325 and place rack in center.
- Place 6 shallow crème brulee dishes in a large roasting pan or two smaller ones.
- In large saucepan, bring cream to a bare simmer over medium heat.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
- In large mixing bowl, whisk the yolks, sugar, vanilla and salt until combined.
- Whisking slowly, add ½ c. of warm cream into egg mixture. Do not over beat.
- Slowly whisk in remaining cream.
- Add the sweet potatoes and mix until well combined. Try to get out all lumps of the potato.
- In a fine mesh strainer, drain the mixture into a large measuring cup (at least 8 cup size.) Draining helps get out the lumps you might have missed.
- Divide the mixture in the 6 dishes.
- Place the large pan in the oven.
- Gently pour in very hot water until it reaches half way up the crème brulee dishes.
- Gently push the oven shelf back into oven. Try not to get water to spill into the dishes.
- Bake for 30-45 minutes, until the edges are set and middle has a little jiggle.
- Carefully, remove the pan from the oven or each dish individually and place on a rack to cool completely.
- Wrap in plastic wrap and place in refrigerator until ready to serve. Try to chill at least 4 hours before serving.
- Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before serving, sprinkle the tops with 2-3 T. sugar. Pass a kitchen torch over the top until sugar melts and caramelizes. Allow sugar to cool before serving.
- Garnish with berries if desired.
Notes
****If you do not have a kitchen torch, you can place under “BROIL” in oven. Watch carefully, do not let it burn.
