Today's tartelettes
Ingredients:
Phyllo dough
melted butter
Ingredients for sweet potato pie/yam custard (use a pumpkin recipe such as this) I used nutmeg instead of cloves and I added some cinnamon. I replaced pumpkin with yams.
1 fresh peach
Some fresh strawberries
shavings of white chocolate
Fresh mint springs for garnish
Directions:
Make yam pie mixture, use a blender to get the yams pureed and the custard smooth
Prepare your phyllo dough nests:
In a muffin tin or mold, use a butter brush to put some butter in each muffin cup.
Cut the Phyllo dough with kitchen scissors into small rectangles (but bigger than the muffin cups. For the crust of the tartelette, place one phyllo rectangle (the individual sheet, like paper) in the base of the muffin cup. Brush on a bit more butter; repeat 3 times until you have a small nest-like cup of phyllo dough crust ready for filling.
Fill each "nest" with the pie custard.
Slice into slivers a fresh peach and some strawberries.
Place a bit of each fruit on top of the custard.
Put some white chocolate shavings on top.
Bake at 350 until phyllo dough turns brown and yam custard thickens (clean toothpick test)
Garnish with mint
