Sweet potatoes can be make into sweet and savory dishes. In the south we have sweet potato pie. I took that concept ande made it into a panna cotta and the i finish it off with sugar on top and torch it as you would a creme brulee to give it a little extra texture and sweetness.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 large sweet potato
- 1 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 envelops gelatin
- 1 cup sugar in the raw
INSTRUCTIONS
- roast sweet with skin on in 350 degree oven until tender. let cool then peel skin off and put flesh in a bowl.
- Add heavy cream, spices, light and brown sugar, and vanilla to same bowl. with an emersion blender puree all ingredients together. put mixture in a pot and bring it to a simmer.
- In a seperate pot add mike and gelatin together. let gelatin bloom for 20 minutes the turn on med heat and bring milk to a simmer.
- Once both pots are at a simmer. whisk the sweet potato mixture into the milk and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Strain mixture into a large bowl and divide it into souffle ramekins.
