When it’s hailing out and you crave for desserts; sweet potato custard is the best alternative for your craving hunger. I would like to introduce sweet and salty custard recipe for your children. It can be served on special occasions and you can prepare it at your place as main ingredients are generally available at your hand.
Ingredients
1 ¾ cups whole milk
3 large eggs
1 cup pureed sweet potato
1/3 cup granulated sugar
Dash salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Dash ground nutmeg
Dash ground cloves
Dash ground ginger
1/4 cup raisins
1/2 cup mashed banana
Freshly ground nutmeg or ground cinnamon for topping
Preparation
1. Heat oven to 350 degree
2. Butter 6 ounce custard cups
3. Set these cups in large baking or roasting pan
4. Heat milk until very hot, set it aside.
5. In a bowl beat the eggs. Add sweet potato, banana, sugar, salt, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and dashes of nutmeg, cloves, raisins and ginger.
6. Whisk the material in milk and beat until well blended.
7. Pour into the prepared custard cups.
8. Heat about 5-6 cups of water until nearly simmering
9. Place the pan with cups in the hot oven then fill the outer pan with the very hot water until the water is about halfway up the side of the custard cups.
10. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until edges are firm. Allow a little more time if you’re using larger custard cups, and check early if using very small or shallow cups. Cups will jiggle when heated with water.
11. Remove cups from water immediately and place on a wire rack to cool.
12. Cover the cooled custard with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. The custards may be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
