Ingredients
Method
- Put the pureed sweet potato, egg yolks, ¼ cup of sugar, ½ teaspoon of cinnamon and the nutmeg in a medium saucepan. Whisk until combined. It won't be perfectly smooth, and that's fine.
- Add the double cream and vanilla and whisk.
- Heat over a medium heat, stirring constantly with a whisk or spatula. Cook until it reaches 74–79°C on a thermometer.
- Take off the heat and strain through a fine sieve, if needed, into an empty Creami pint. Stand the pint in an ice bath until cool. Once cool, cover and freeze for 24 hours.
- Heat the oven to 230°C (210°C fan). Grease a baking tray and spread the chilled pie crust out on it. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar and ½ teaspoon of cinnamon. Bake for about 15 minutes until browned, then break into pieces and set aside.
- Press: GELATO Take the pint out of the freezer, remove the lid, lock it into the outer bowl with the paddle lid, place it on the machine and select gelato.
- Serve straight away.
