Rich and Soft Sweet Potato Treat
- 2 Japanese sweet potatoes
- 50 grams Butter
- 50 grams Sugar
- 50 ml Heavy cream
- 2 Egg yolks
- 1 tbsp Rum
- 1 egg's worth Egg yolk (for the eggwash)
- 1 tsp Mirin (for the eggwash)
- Rinse the sweet potatoes and cover them in a sheet of newspaper.
- Wet the potatoes with the newspaper, squeeze lightly, and cover with aluminum foil.
- Bake the potatoes for 70 minutes in a 250C preheated oven.
- Test them with a skewer and make sure you can poke through easily.
- When they're cooked well enough, peel them.
- Place the peeled sweet potatoes into a food processor.
- Add the butter and sugar while the potatoes are still hot, and switch the food processor on.
- Blend them well.
- Add the heavy cream into the mixture from Step 3.
- Also add the egg yolks one by one and blend well.
- Then add the rum, and blend everything again.
- Transfer the mixture from Step 4 into a piping bag and squeeze it into the pudding cups.
- Combine and mix the egg yolk and mirin (for the glaze) and brush it onto the sweetened sweet potatoes.
- Bake in 250C oven for 10 minutes to finish.
- These are delicious just-cooked.
- If they have cooled down, cover them with aluminum foil to bake lightly in a toaster oven.
- If you're shaping them with your hands rather than squeezing them with a piping bag, cover the mixture from Step 4 with plastic wrap, press out the air, and chill in the fridge.
- (It's easier to shape when it's chilled.)
- You can make roughly 10 of these in a 12 cm x 5 cm boat-shaped aluminum cups.
- Also, you can simply pour or scoop the mixture into the pudding cups without using piping bags.
