How to Make Purple Sweet Potato Egg Tarts

Purple sweet potato egg tarts, a delightful twist on the classic, boast a vibrant hue and a sweet, nutty flavor. Here’s a simple guide to crafting these treats at home.

Ingredients: For the crust, you’ll need 150g all-purpose flour, 50g powdered sugar, 75g cold butter, and 1 egg yolk. For the filling, mix 100g mashed purple sweet potato, 200ml milk, 100ml heavy cream, 3 eggs, 50g sugar, and a pinch of salt.

Steps:

1. Make the crust: Rub cold butter into flour and sugar until crumbly. Add egg yolk and knead into a smooth dough. Chill for 30 minutes, then press into tart molds. Bake at 180°C for 15 minutes until golden. Let cool.

2. Prepare filling: Whisk mashed purple sweet potato until smooth. Combine milk, cream, sugar, and salt, heat gently until warm. Beat eggs, then mix with the potato and milk mixture. Strain for a silky texture.

3. Assemble & Bake: Pour filling into the cooled crusts. Bake at 160°C for 25–30 minutes until set. Chill before serving for the best texture.

These tarts offer a perfect balance of buttery crust and creamy, earthy filling. Enjoy them as a snack or dessert!
