Ingredients (10 pieces)
Mishima sweet potato | 300g |
Unsalted butter (at room temperature) | 30g |
Granulated sugar | 20g |
salt | a little |
Fresh cream (35% milk fat) | 20g |
commercially available pudding | 1 individual |
Commercially available candied chestnuts | 10 individual |
Egg yolk (mix with a few drops of soy sauce) | |
black sesame seeds | a little |
Method
Wrap the skinned Mishima sweet potato in kitchen paper, soak it with water, and heat it in a 500W microwave for 2 minutes. Then warm it up in thawing mode (170W) for about 25 to 30 minutes.
When it's soft enough to pierce with a bamboo skewer, peel it while it's still hot, put it in a plastic bag, and mash it with your fingers.
Put the butter and ❷ in a bowl, stir, then add granulated sugar, salt, and fresh cream, stir again, and puree until smooth.
Add the pudding to ❸, mix well, then put into a piping bag (star opening).
Place chestnuts in the bottom of an aluminum madeleine mold (about 5cm in diameter) (one chestnut per mold) and squeeze out ❹.
Brush the surface with egg yolk for gloss and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake in the oven at 170°C for 13 to 15 minutes and it's ready!
Key Points
Point ❶
If you heat it slowly at a low temperature, the sweetness of the sweet potato will come out.
Point ❸
It is OK to leave the texture of the potato without pureing it.
