Yield Makes one 9-inch flan

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 sweet potatoes (1 1/4 pounds)
1 3/4 cups sugar
1/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
5 large whole eggs
2 large egg yolks
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups milk, scalded

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place sweet potatoes on a baking sheet, and roast until very soft, about 1 hour. Allow to cool. Peel off skin, and discard. Place sweet potatoes in the bowl of a food processor, and puree until completely smooth. Measure 1 1/2 cups puree, reserving any excess for another use. This step may be done a day in advance.
  • Reduce oven to 325 degrees. Combine 1 cup sugar and the water in a small saucepan, and cook over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves. Brush down sides of pan with a pastry brush dipped in water to prevent crystallization. Increase heat to medium-high; boil, without stirring, until the syrup turns a deep amber, 5 to 6 minutes. Pour caramel into savarin mold or a 9-by-2-inch round cake pan. Holding the pan with pot holders, swirl to coat bottom and halfway up sides of dish.
  • In a large bowl, combine sweet-potato puree, remaining 3/4 cup sugar, allspice, cinnamon, salt, eggs, and egg yolks. Mix in vanilla and scalded milk, then pass the mixture through a fine sieve. Pour into caramel-lined pan, and cover with foil. Set in a roasting pan, and pour boiling water into the roasting pan halfway up sides of flan dish.
  • Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until center of flan is nearly set: A thin-bladed knife inserted in the center should come out clean. Let cool to room temperature, and place in the refrigerator to chill overnight.
  • To unmold, run a sharp knife carefully around flan, and cover with a serving plate; invert quickly. Remove pan; serve.

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 pounds unpeeled whole red-skinned sweet potatoes (yams)
2 3/4 cups sugar
3/4 cup water
6 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups whipping cream
2 teaspoons grated orange peel

Steps:

  • Cook sweet potatoes in large pot of boiling water until tender, about 35 minutes. Drain well. Let cool 20 minutes. Peel potatoes. Transfer to medium bowl; mash until smooth. Set aside.
  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 325°F. Stir 2 cups sugar and 3/4 cup water in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil without stirring until syrup turns deep amber, occasionally brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush and swirling pan, about 10 minutes. Working quickly, divide caramel among twelve 3/4-cup custard cups or soufflé dishes, tilting cups to cover bottom with caramel. Cool.
  • Whisk mashed sweet potatoes, remaining 3/4 cup sugar, eggs, vanilla and salt in large bowl to blend well. Combine cream and orange peel in heavy medium saucepan. Bring to boil. Gradually whisk cream into potato-egg mixture. Strain mixture into 2-quart measuring cup or bowl; discard solids in strainer. Divide mixture among custard cups. Place 6 cups in each of 2 large baking pans. Add enough hot water to baking pans to come halfway up sides of cups. Bake flans until sides are set but center still moves slightly when cups are shaken. Remove cups from water and cool about 40 minutes. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours and up to 2 days. Run small sharp knife around edges to loosen. Turn flans out onto plates and serve.

ROASTED SWEET POTATO PIE OR FLAN



Roasted Sweet Potato Pie or Flan image

I like this as much without a crust as with one. It's not a flan in the traditional sense, with a caramel component. It's an irresistibly creamy one. If you use 2 eggs instead of 3 (see variation) the texture will be smoother but it won't slice as neatly.

Categories     dinner, pies and tarts, dessert

Time 2h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 large sweet potatoes, or enough for 1 1/2 cups puréed roasted sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup applesauce
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/4 cup mild honey, such as clover
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons drained yogurt or crème fraiche
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
1 egg yolk
1 gluten-free dessert pastry shell (or other crust of your choice), fully baked and cooled (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil. Pierce the sweet potatoes in several places with the tip of a paring knife. Place on the baking sheet and bake 40 to 50 minutes, until soft and oozing. Remove from the oven and when cool enough to handle, peel and place in a food processor fitted with the steel blade (you can also blend the mixture with a hand blender). Turn the oven down to 350 degrees. If not using a crust, butter a round 9-inch baking dish.
  • Measure out 1 1/2 cups of sweet potato purée (store any extra purée in the refrigerator and enjoy with a meal). Place the purée in the food processor, or in a bowl if using a hand blender, add the remaining ingredients (except the crust) and blend until smooth and creamy. Scrape into the baking dish or the crust. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
