Crème Brûlée Sweet Potatoes.

Level: Intermediate.
Total: 1 hr 50 min.
Active: 25 min.
Yield: 8 to 12 portions.

Components.

Sweet Potato Base:.

4 pounds orange sweet potatoes.
8 tablespoons (1 stick) saltless butter, plus more for the dish.
1/2 cup loaded dark brown sugar.
1/2 cup whipping cream, warm.
1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste.
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon.
Pinch of newly grated nutmeg.
Pinch of kosher salt, plus more if required.
Passion of 1 orange, optional (but exceptional).
2 big eggs.

Brûlée Garnish:.

1/2 cup granulated sugar.

Directions.

Special devices: a kitchen torch.

For the sweet potato base: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Pierce the sweet potatoes, place on a baking sheet and roast until totally tender, 50 to 70 minutes.

On the other hand, in a small skillet over medium heat, cook the butter till melted and deeply golden and nutty, 5 to 7 minutes.

Carefully scoop out the hot sweet potato flesh. Pass it through a potato ricer into a big bowl or mash it till entirely smooth. Mix in the browned butter, brown sugar, whipping cream, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and orange passion if using. Taste and change with more salt if required. Let cool a little, then thoroughly mix in the eggs.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish.

Spread the sweet potato mixture in the ready meal, keeping the surface area as level as possible.

Bake up until set but still velvety, 25 to thirty minutes. Let rest about 10 minutes.

For the brûlée topping: Right before serving, blot any wetness from the surface area if needed. Spray a very thin, even layer of the granulated sugar over the entire casserole. Utilizing a kitchen torch, heat slowly till the sugar melts, bubbles and becomes deep amber. Let the topping harden for 2 to 3 minutes.

Cook's Note: Roasting the sweet potatoes rather of boiling them keeps the taste concentrated and avoids a watery casserole.

Propane gas torches are extremely flammable and should be avoided heat, open flame and prolonged exposure to sunlight. They need to be utilized just in well-ventilated areas. Follow torch maker's directions for usage.
