Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • ramekins
  • baking tray
  • Kitchen torch

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Japanese sweet potatoes (satsumaimo)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar (for topping)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Gather your ingredients and equipment.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked and mashed Japanese sweet potatoes, granulated sugar, heavy cream, egg yolks, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  • Pour the sweet potato mixture into ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full. Place them on a baking tray.
  • Place the baking tray in the oven, then fill it with hot water halfway up the ramekins. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the edges are set.
  • Allow the ramekins to cool for about 15 minutes before refrigerating for at least 2 hours.
  • Sprinkle granulated sugar over the tops and caramelize using a kitchen torch until golden and bubbly.

Notes

Store leftovers in the fridge covered for up to 3 days. For best results, caramelize the sugar topping right before serving.
