Sweet Potato Pie

 

Ingredients

・Sweet potato: 400g

・Sugar: 60g

・Unsalted butter: 60g

・Egg yolk: 1

・Heavy cream (approx. 37% milk fat): 80ml

・Pie sheets: 2

・Egg (for glazing): As needed

・Black sesame seeds: As needed

Instructions

1. Wrap the sweet potato in a paper towel, briefly run it under water, and then wrap it in plastic wrap.

2. Microwave at 600W for 1 minute 30 seconds, then at 200W for 8–10 minutes.

*Cooking time varies depending on the size of the sweet potato, so adjust as necessary while checking. It is done when a bamboo skewer slides in easily.

3. Peel the skin while the potato is still hot, being careful not to burn yourself.

4. Place the sweet potato, sugar, unsalted butter, egg yolk, and heavy cream into a food processor; blend until smooth, then transfer the mixture to a piping bag.

5. Cut the thawed pie sheets, brush with egg wash, and pipe the sweet potato mixture onto them. Brush the tops with egg wash, sprinkle with black sesame seeds, and bake in an oven preheated to 200°C for 20 minutes.
