Method
Preparing the Sweet Potato Base
- 1
Roast the Sweet Potatoes
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for 45-50 minutes until tender. Let them cool slightly, then scoop out the flesh and mash it until smooth.

Mix the Custard
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg yolks, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Fold in the mashed sweet potato until well combined.

Prepare for Baking
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Pour the sweet potato mixture into ramekins, filling them about 3/4 full. Place the ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
Baking the Creme Brulee
- 4
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- 5
Caramelize the Sugar
Once chilled, sprinkle an even layer of brown sugar over the top of each custard. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it forms a crunchy layer. If you don’t have a torch, you can place the ramekins under a broiler for 2-3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
