Savory Sweet Potato Flan

Name: Savory Sweet Potato Flan
Ingredients: Vegetarian

Serves Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

1/2 cup maple syrup (grade B amber)
2 tablespoons Kikkoman Soy Sauce
4 egg yolks
1/2 cup mashed baked sweet potato
1/4 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground mace
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 fresh sage leaves, chopped
salt and white pepper

Directions

Heat oven to 300 degrees. In small saucepan over low heat, reduce maple syrup and soy sauce until slightly thickened. Pour into four 4-ounce ramekins.

Whisk together egg yolks, sweet potato, sour cream, sugar and mace. Heat cream and sage just to boiling; whisk into sweet potato mixture. Strain; ladle into ramekins. Place ramekins in hot water bath; bake about 40 minutes or until centers are barely set. Cool in water bath 15 minutes; remove from water bath and refrigerate, covered.

To serve, reheat in microwave oven 20 to 30 seconds or in 300 degree oven for a few minutes. Carefully run a paring knife around edge of ramekin, invert onto plate and garnish with chiffonade of sage, deep-fried sweet potato “leaves” and cranberry compote.
