Ingredients

• ***For the caramel:
• ½ cup sugar
• 3 tablespoon water
• ***For the cream:
• 3 extra large eggs at room temperature
• 1 cup milk
• 1 1/4 cup boiled and mashed sweet potato
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/2 + 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ginger

Instructions

• ***For the caramel:
• In a saucepan, add the sugar and water. Place pan on medium-high heat.
• Do not stir but swirl the pan for evenly cooked caramel.
• When the caramel is slightly dark golden in color remove pan from heat, pour in the ramekins, and let it cool.

• Add the eggs one at a time and whisk until well combined.
• Add the milk and whisk again. Pour in previously prepared ramekins.
• Place the ramekins in a deep large baking pan, add hot water to the large pan until it reaches half the ramekins. I used seven 4 oz ramekins that take a bit more than half a cup of liquid.
• Bake at 350F/180C for 55 to 60 minutes. Remove ramekins and let it cool.
• Run a knife around the edges of the cream caramel and invert it on a plate.
