Matcha Pie

The recipe is made by Sora N., d:matcha's Confectionery Assistant

Ingredients:

  • About 100g sweet potato
  • 20g sugar (adjust according to the sweetness of the sweet potato)
  • 60g heavy cream
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 5g matcha
  • 2 sheets of puff pastry

Preparation:

  1. Cut the sweet potato into chunks and soak in water for about 5 minutes.
  2. Keep the puff pastry in the freezer until 5 minutes before using.

Instructions:

  1. Drain the sweet potato, wrap it in plastic wrap, and microwave at 600W for 5-7 minutes.
  2. Once the sweet potato is soft enough to pierce with a skewer, mash it with a spatula.
  3. Add 40g of heavy cream and 1 egg yolk to the sweet potato, mix, and strain using a sieve. If it seems a bit thick, add more heavy cream.
  4. Combine matcha and sugar, then add any remaining heavy cream and mix it with step 3. If it's hard to mix, add about 1 tablespoon of heavy cream.
  5. Roll out the two sheets of puff pastry to about 2 cm thick and cut them into 6 pieces. If the pastry sticks together, sprinkle a little flour to help with handling.
  6. Cut three diagonal slits into the pastry that will go on top.
  7. Arrange the base pastry on a kitchen towel, divide the sweet potato mixture into 6 portions, and cover with the pastry that has slits. Aim for about 25g of sweet potato filling per piece.
  8. Seal the edges with a fork and brush the top with egg yolk. Bake at 200°C for 15 minutes.

Done! Enjoy your delicious matcha sweet potato pie!
