Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds sweet potatoes
2 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
8 eggs
2 cups heavy cream
3 tablespoons brandy
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

Steps:

  • Reheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake potatoes until soft throughout, about 1 hour. Cool, then peel and cut into chunks. Puree in a food processor--do not over mix--and reserve. Reduce oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Prepare caramel and sauce following the same method as for Creme Caramel (recipe follows). Line a 3-quart Pyrex loaf pan with caramel and set aside on a level surface. Chill sauce.
  • Combine custard ingredients in a large bowl and whisk in the sweet potato puree to combine. Pour through a strainer into lined loaf pan.
  • Place inside a larger roasting pan. Pour in boiling water until it rises halfway up the sides of the loaf pan. Bake about 1 hour and 50 minutes. The center should feel firm when pressed.
  • Set aside to cool about 1 1/2 hours. Cover with plastic wrap touching top. Refrigerate overnight or as long as 4 days.
  • Run a knife along inside edge 2 or 3 times to loosen. When you press center, sides should pull away. Cover with a platter and quickly invert. Drain excess caramel into a bowl and strain into reserved cold sauce. Serve slices of flan on dessert plates. Top with chilled caramel sauce.

The flan didn't set properly, even though I followed the recipe exactly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This flan was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar by half.

I substituted almond milk for the regular milk, and it turned out great! This recipe is very versatile.
