Recipe: Roasted Sweet Potato Pie or Flan

Posted on August 29, 2018August 29, 2018 by

It’s not a flan in the traditional sense, with a caramel component. If you use 2 eggs instead of 3 (see variation) the texture will be smoother but it won’t slice as neatly.

I’d actually like to try this with ube (purple yam) instead of sweet potato, particularly the flan variation.

Ingredients

2 large sweet potatoes, or enough for 1 1/2 cups puréed roasted sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons butter, melted
½ cup applesauce
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
¼ cup mild honey, such as clover
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup milk
2 tablespoons drained yogurt or crème fraiche
½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
¼ teaspoon salt
3 eggs
1 egg yolk
1 dessert pastry shell, fully baked and cooled (optional)

Preparation

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
