Purple Sweet Potato Mont Blanc Tart
- 1 amount for 1 tart Tart crust
- 35 grams Butter
- 35 grams Powdered sugar
- 35 grams Almond flour
- 35 grams Whole egg
- 200 ml Heavy cream
- 20 grams Sugar
- 140 grams Purple sweet potato
- 20 grams Sugar
- 20 grams Milk
- 40 grams Creme Chantilly
- 1 tsp Rum (optional)
- First, make the tart crust, and press it into your tart pan.
- Make the almond cream.
- Add to the bowl and mix the ingredients together in order starting with the butter, powdered sugar, whole egg, and then almond flour.
- Put this into the tart crust, and chill in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.
- Bake for about 30 minutes at 170C.
- After baking, chill again in the refrigerator.
- Mix the ingredients for the Creme Chantilly, beating until soft peaks form.
- Cook the purple sweet potato in the microwave or steam in a steamer until soft.
- Peel, and crumble 140 g of the potato into a bowl.
- Add the sugar, milk, and rum, and mix.
- Press the mixture through a strainer or potato ricer.
- Make sure to do this because otherwise, the mixture will get stuck in the tip of the pastry piping bag.
- Now you've got your colorful purple sweet potato base.
- Add the Creme Chantilly to the potato base from step 8, and mix well to make the Mont Blanc Cream.
- Dust just the edges of the tart base with a little powdered sugar, according to your liking.
- Use a pastry piping bag with a round, 1 cm tip to squeeze the Creme Chantilly onto the tart, leaving a bare 1 cm border around the edges.
- First, pipe 4 strips, and then pipe 3 more on top of that (as shown).
- If you don't have a piping tool, it's actually fine to just use a spoon to pile the cream onto the tart.
- (There should be some leftover cream which will be used for the border in step 13.)
- On top of the Creme Chantilly, pipe out a generous mound of the purple sweet potato cream.
- Use the remaining Creme Chantilly to pipe a border around the top of the tart.
- Done!
- To decorate the tart I added some coarsely chopped pumpkin seeds on top of the whipped cream around the edges, and then finished off with a simple decorative pick and a little macaron on top.
- I also made a mini size Mont Blanc tart.
