Sweet Potato Tarts
- 1 Tart crust (Pate sucree)
- 1 large Sweet potato
- 25 grams Butter
- 1 tbsp Granulated sugar
- 20 grams Honey
- 40 grams Milk (or heavy cream to make it more rich)
- 1 and 1/2 Egg yolk
- 1 dash Vanilla oil or extract
- 70 grams Sweet potato
- 1 Granulated sugar
- 1/2 egg yolk + 1/2 teaspoon honey Egg yolk + honey for coloring
- Follow the instructions to make the tart crust and stop at Step 8.
- Bake in an 170C/338F preheated oven for 15 minutes.
- Remove your baking beans or weights, cover the edges with aluminium foil, and bake for a further 10 minutes.
- Bake until the bottom is lightly browned.
- If it's not baked enough, the bottom will be too soft and won't be crusty.
- You could also bake it for approximately 15 minutes without any baking weights.
- Rinse the sweet potato for decoration and dice.
- Soak in water to remove any bitterness.
- Simmer and reduce in a small amount of sugar and water.
- Rinse the other sweet potato and peel.
- Soak in water to remove any bitterness.
- Chop it up and boil until soft.
- Drain in a colander or sieve, then return it into the pot.
- Mash while it's hot.
- Add ingredients in order.
- Cook over low heat until the water evaporates and becomes thick.
- Mix and knead making sure it doesn't burn.
- Turn heat off.
- Add beaten egg yolks in small batches and mix quickly.
- Add vanilla.
- Pour the filling into the half-baked crust from Step 1 and even out the surface.
- Combine all ingredients and brush on top.
- Top with sweet potatoes for decoration and brush the mixture as well.
- Bake in a 170C/338F preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes.
- Let it cool.
- Cut using a warm knife.
- I noted to boil the sweet potatoes, but you could also wrap them unpeeled with aluminum foil and bake in the oven or steam in a steamer.
- This improves its sweet flavor and makes it even more delicious.
- If you're using an electric oven, make sure to add about 10C/50F to the temperature.
- Peel skin from the sweet potatoes for decoration if you'd wish.
- To make the tarts taste even more smooth, pass the boiled and mashed potatoes through a sieve.
