1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation - Estimated cooking time: Under 30 minutes

-

1 Preheat broiler.

2 Place sweet potatoes in a large pot, cover with

water and bring to a boil over medium high heat.

3 Cook sweet potatoes in boiling water until soft,

about 25 minutes. Drain.

4 Transfer sweet potatoes to a food processor or the

bowl of an electric mixer and purée for about 2

minutes, until mixture is smooth.

5 If using vanilla bean, split it down the middle,

open the pod and scrape the beans into the purée using

a sharp knife. (Reserve vanilla bean pod to flavor

another recipe; wrap it airtight and freeze.)

6 Add maple syrup and vanilla extract to mixture and

purée for 30 seconds more.

7 Divide sweet potato mixture among 6 individual

custard dishes. Coat the surface of each with maple or

natural sugar.

8 Place custard dishes on a baking sheet and set under

broiler until sugar melts and bubbles, about 5

minutes. Watch carefully and remove before sugar

begins to burn.
