Purple sweet potato gives this ganache tart delicious flavor and a naturally purple hue. Classic French shortcrust pastry is the perfect foil for the rich filling.
Spring is yet to come, but flower-shaped tarts are already blooming in my kitchen! I've been gathering a few new baking tools lately and donating old ones, which feels good on the precipice of the new season. You may recall that I recently purchased a new madeleine pan () and using it inspired me and gave my baking a boost! Around the same time I purchased this blossom tart pan, and I've just been waiting for the right inspiration to use it.
This year I'm making an effort to explore ingredients that give foods a naturally vibrant hue. Purple yam, known as ube (pronounced ooh-bae), is one of those ingredients that imparts bold purple color naturally – and it doesn't just look good! It tastes good too, with beautiful sweet potato flavor.
