Ingredients
- All-Purpose Flour
- Unsalted Butter
- Powdered Sugar
- Japanese Sweet Potatoes
- Heavy Cream
- Egg Yolks
- Vanilla Extract
- Ground Ginger
- Lime Zest
- Granulated Sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and powdered sugar. Cut in the cold, cubed unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the dough into a tart pan, ensuring an even layer across the bottom and up the sides. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
- Bake the crust for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove and let cool.
- In a separate bowl, mash the cooked Japanese sweet potatoes until smooth. Set aside.
- In a saucepan, heat heavy cream until just simmering. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks, vanilla extract, ground ginger, and lime zest.
- Gradually whisk hot cream into the egg mixture, then stir in the mashed sweet potatoes until combined.
- Pour the sweet potato filling into the cooled tart crust and smooth the top.
- Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes until the filling is set but slightly wobbly in the center.
- Allow to cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Before serving, sprinkle granulated sugar evenly over the top and use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until golden brown.
- Slice and serve your delightful tart!
