Categories     Trusted Brands: Recipes and Tips     Bruce's® Yams

Time 6h5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (15 ounce) can Bruce's® Yams Cut Sweet Potatoes in Syrup, drained
2 cups heavy cream
⅓ cup brown sugar
5 large egg yolks, room temperature
1 tablespoon brandy, or other liqueur
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon Whipped cream, for serving
4 Maraschino cherries, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Place the Bruce's® Yams Cut Sweet Potatoes in a bowl and remove any fibers. Using a hand held beater, whip until yams are creamy and contain no lumps; set aside.
  • Place the cream in a heavy saucepan and slowly bring to a simmer; remove from heat and cool 5 minutes.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar, egg yolks and brandy. Whisk mixture until smooth and the brown sugar has dissolved.
  • Temper the cream into the eggs by slowing adding it into the bowl while constantly whisking. This process should be done slowly, in order to not cook the eggs.
  • Fold in whipped sweet potatoes then strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean container. Ladle the egg mixture into 4 ramekins, leaving 1/4 inch at the top.
  • Place the ramekins in a large, glass baking dish and place in oven. Carefully pour boiling water into the baking dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekin.
  • Bake for 35 minutes or until custards are almost completely set. Turn off the oven and let sit undisturbed for 10 minutes. Carefully remove baking dish from oven and allow ramekins to cool completely in the water bath.
  • Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for 5 hours.
  • Remove custards from the refrigerator 15 minutes before you want to serve them. Sprinkle the tops evenly with the granulated sugar and brulee the tops with a small confectioner's torch or place under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until the sugar has caramelized. Garnish with whipped cream and maraschino cherries before serving, if desired.

Time 3h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 medium sweet potatoes
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons coconut sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Prick each sweet potato 7 or 8 times with a fork, then place the potatoes on a nonstick baking sheet.
  • Bake until very tender at the center and the skins are starting to wrinkle, 50 to 60 minutes. Remove from the oven and split the potatoes down the center to open.
  • Whisk together the cinnamon, vanilla extract and 2 teaspoons water. Brush the centers of the potatoes with the liquid. Cool completely in the refrigerator, about 2 hours.
  • When ready to serve, open the potatoes like a book and sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon coconut sugar. Using a kitchen torch, brulee the sugar until it melts and turns an even darker, almost black color. Allow to cool for 2 to 3 minutes, so the sugar firms up and becomes a tasty little crackle. Serve immediately.

SWEET POTATO CREME BRULEE

Categories     dessert

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, baked, peeled, and pureed
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 quarts heavy cream
1 vanilla bean, split in half
16 large egg yolks

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, mix together the pureed sweet potatoes, 1/4 cup of the sugar, and the lemon juice until combined. Butter 8 8-ounce custard cups or ramekins. Spoon 2 to 3 tablepoons of the sweet potato mixture into each cup to form a 1/4-inch layer.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, vanilla bean, and 3/4 cup of the remaining sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Remove the pan from the heat.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and another 3/4 cup sugar. Gradually pour the egg mixture into the saucepan, whisking constantly. Return the saucepan to the stove and cook on low heat for 3 minutes, or until the mixture thickens.
  • Fill the custard cups with enough of the cream mixture so they are about seven-eighths full. Place the filled cups in a baking pan that is large enough to hold them all. Add enough hot water to come within 1 inch of the top of the cups. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the custards are barely set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out a little wet. Remove the custards from the baking pan and place them in the refrigerator. Refrigerate overnight.
  • Preheat the broiler. Lightly sprinkle the surface of each custard with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the remaining sugar. Place the custards under the broiler for about 30 to 60 seconds and let them brown. Keep an eye on the custards, as this happens quickly.
  • Remove the custards from the heat, and once the sugar has hardened (1 to 2 minutes), serve the creme brulee.

SWEET POTATO CREME BRULEE

Categories     dessert

Time 4h25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 sweet potatoes or 1 yam, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 tablespoon molasses
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 quart heavy cream
2 vanilla beans, split and seeds scraped
1 cup sugar (1/2 cup and 1/2 cup measured separately)
6 egg yolks
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Boil sweet potatoes until tender and drain. Add molasses, honey, vanilla, brown sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Mash by hand then beat until smooth with an electric beater.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Pour the cream into a saucepan and add the vanilla bean seeds, and the pods. Over medium low heat slowly bring to a boil, then remove from heat, cover pan and set aside for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and gradually add 1/2 cup of the sugar whipping until you see a change in color. After 15 minutes remove the vanilla pods from the cream mixture. Then slowly incorporate the cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture a little at a time, whisking constantly as you go.
  • Lightly grease 6 to 8 (4 or 6-ounce) ramekins. Add even amounts of the sweet potato mixture to the ramekins. Then fill the ramekins each 3/4 full with the custard mixture.
  • Place the filled ramekins in a roasting pan and prepare a bain marie by adding hot water to the pan so that the water level is halfway up the side of the ramekins. Be careful to avoid splashing any water into the ramekins. Bake in the oven for 40 to 45 minutes, allow to cool and then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. (You can do this way in advance if you wish.) Just before serving remove from the refrigerator and allow to warm up a little. Then divide the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar among the ramekins sprinkling some on the surface of each cup. Using a blow torch, melt the sugar to form a crispy sugar "crust" on the top of each. This custard could be served with fruits of the season.

SWEET-POTATO BRûLéE

Categories     Side     Bake     Christmas     Thanksgiving     Sweet Potato/Yam     Fall     Winter     Gourmet     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 8 to 10 side-dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lb sweet potatoes (2 or 3 large)
7 large egg yolks
3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups whole milk
5 to 7 tablespoons turbinado sugar such as Sugar in the Raw
Special Equipment
a shallow 2 1/2-qt flameproof baking dish such as a 12-inch quiche dish (1 3/4 inches deep); a small blowtorch

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Pierce potatoes all over with a fork. Bake in a foil-lined shallow baking pan until tender, about 1 hour. Remove from oven and reduce oven temperature to 300°F.
  • When sweet potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel them. Cut warm potatoes into 2-inch pieces and purée in a food processor until smooth.
  • Whisk together yolks, brown sugar, lemon juice, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl until sugar is dissolved. Whisk in sweet-potato purée until combined, then gently stir in milk until combined. Pour mixture into baking dish and bake until custard is just set, about 1 hour. Cool in dish on a rack 1 hour (custard will continue to set as it cools).
  • Just before serving, gently sprinkle enough turbinado sugar over custard to cover evenly (top of custard may be very soft), then move blowtorch flame evenly back and forth just above sugar until sugar is caramelized, about 3 minutes. Let stand until topping is hardened, 3 to 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for sweet potatoes that are firm and free of blemishes. Avoid any potatoes that have soft spots or signs of sprouting.
  • Bake the sweet potatoes until they are very soft: This will ensure that the crème brûlée has a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Use a high-quality vanilla extract: The vanilla extract is one of the key flavors in this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality extract.
  • Let the crème brûlée chill for at least 4 hours before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the custard to set properly.
  • Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar on top of the crème brûlée: This will give the crème brûlée its signature crispy top.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato crème brûlée is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized with different flavors, such as vanilla, cinnamon, or nutmeg. With its creamy texture and caramelized sugar top, sweet potato crème brûlée is sure to impress your guests.
