(NAPSI)-If you've never made a custard, try this. It takes a classic French dessert and combines it with a staple of the Americas--the orange-fleshed sweet potato, domesticated in South America for at least 5,000 years.
If you can whisk the egg yolks into the hot cream without scrambling them--and you can--you'll open up a world of desserts: flans of Spanish heritage, pots de crème from France and many other tantalizing sweets.
