Yield: 6
Ingredients
- 2 cups cubed raw peeled sweet potatoes
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- ¼ cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 (14.1-ounce) package refrigerated pie dough (2 sheets)
- 1 recipe Sweetened Whipped Cream (recipe follows)
- Garnish: toasted sweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°.
- In a medium saucepan, cover sweet potatoes with water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat so sweet potatoes boil gently. Cook until very tender when pierced with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Drain sweet potatoes well, and place in a medium mixing bowl with egg, brown sugar, coconut milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, allspice, and salt. Beat at medium-high speed with a mixer until smooth.
- Using a 4½-inch round cutter, cut 6 rounds from pie dough sheets. Press rounds into 6 (3¾-inch) tartlet pans with removable bottoms. Place prepared tartlet pans on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Divide sweet potato mixture among prepared tartlet pans.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°, and bake until a knife inserted in centers of tartlets comes out clean, approximately 15 minutes. Let cool completely before removing from tartlet pans.
- Place Sweetened Whipped Cream in a pastry bag fitted with a large open-star tip (Wilton 1M). Holding pastry bag in an upright fashion, pipe whipped cream stars onto tartlets.
- Garnish tartlets with toasted coconut, if desired.
