Sweet Potato Custard Recipes

BAKED SWEET POTATO CUSTARD

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Preheat oven to 350 F. Butter 6 (5- to 6-ounce) custard cups; set cups in a large baking or roasting pan.
• Heat the milk until very hot. Set aside and keep warm.
• In a mixing bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the sweet potato, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and salt.
• Whisk in the warm milk and beat until well blended. Pour into the prepared custard cups.
• Heat 5 to 6 cups of water until steaming and nearly simmering.
• Place the roasting pan with the filled custard cups in the hot oven and fill the pan with the very hot water until it reaches about halfway up the side of the custard cups. Be careful not to pour water into the custard.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the edges are firm. The center of the custards will still jiggle a bit. Allow a little more time if you're using larger custard cups and check early if using very small or shallow cups.
• Carefully remove the cups from the water bath immediately and place them on a wire rack to cool. Once cooled, cover the custards with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. The custards may be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to three days.

Steps:

• On a lightly floured piece of parchment, roll out dough into a 13-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Fit into a 9-inch pie dish. Using kitchen shears, trim to a 1-inch overhang; fold under. Crimp edges or decorate as desired. Lightly prick bottom of dough with a fork. Refrigerate 30 minutes.

Remove and let cool slightly; reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and place a foil-lined baking sheet below rack. When cool enough to handle, peel sweet potatoes, discarding skins. Place flesh in a food processor and process until smooth. (Puree can be made ahead and refrigerated in an airtight container up to 5 days.)
• In a bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined. Whisk in half-and-half. Add 1 1/4 cups sweet-potato puree; whisk until thoroughly combined.
