CREAM CHEESE FILLED SWEET POTATO MUFFINS



CREAM CHEESE FILLED SWEET POTATO MUFFINS image

I needed a dessert for my husband's supper and I had a leftover baked sweet potato from the night before, so I came up with this little gem. The muffin is very moist and sweet and the cream cheese filling has a little tang of lemon juice. Delicious! I had one for breakfast, too (Sshhhh, don't tell anyone!) They ARE similar to a cheese danish after all. :-)

FILLING:
1 - 8 oz. package(s) cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup(s) granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon(s) pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon(s) lemon juice (may use bottled)
SWEET POTATO BATTER:
1/2 cup(s) butter or margarine, softened
1 cup(s) granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup(s) sweet potatoes, cooked or canned (drained well)
1/4 cup(s) all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon(s) baking soda

Steps:

  • Place oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350ºF.
  • Lightly grease muffin tin or use cupcake liners.
  • Make the filling first: Use electric hand-mixer to beat cream cheese with 1/2 cup sugar, until lightened and rather fluffy (about 3 minutes.)
  • Add egg, vanilla and lemon juice; beat until well blended. Set aside. Wash beaters.
  • Make the sweet potato batter: In mixing bowl, combine butter and sugar; use electric hand-mixer to beat until light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs; beat well.
  • Add sweet potatoes and mix well.
  • In a small bowl, combine flour and soda; add to creamed mixture; use a spatula or wooden spoon to blend just enough to moisten dry ingredients.
  • Spoon into prepared muffin tins to 1/2 full.
  • Use a spoon to make a depression in the center of each to form a "nest" or "well."
  • Spoon about 1/2 tablespoon of cream cheese mixture into each "well." (If there is any left over, you may add a little more to each muffin.)
  • Bake in preheated oven at 350ºF for 25 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and allow to rest 5-6 minutes then run a knife around each muffin to loosen from pan. The cream cheese middle will settle and sink a bit as they cool.
  • Serve at room temperature or cold. Store and refrigerate in an airtight container.

Time 40m

Yield 24 muffins, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups sucanat (organic) or 2 cups light brown sugar
4 large eggs (organic)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (organic)
1 cup applesauce (organic)
1 1/2 cups sweet potato puree (organic)
3 cups flour (organic)
1/4 cup ground flax seeds (organic)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon (organic)
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (organic)
4 ounces cream cheese, softened (organic)
cinnamon sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F In the meantime, cream butter and sugar with an electric mixer. Sucanat is grainier than sugar and won't cream the same way-it'll work fine so long as the sucanat and butter are well mixed.
  • Add eggs, vanilla, applesauce and sweet potato to butter-sugar combo and mix well on low speed.
  • Combine all dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Slowly add to the wet ingredients while continuing to mix on low speed.
  • Fill each well of a greased, 1-ounce mini muffin tray half way. Add a ¼ tsp dollop of cream cheese on top of batter. Finish filling each well to the rim. Sprinkle each muffin with cinnamon sugar.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes. Muffins are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (except for some cream cheese filling)! Sprinkle some more cinnamon sugar on top. Allow muffins to cool in tray for about 5 minutes. Finish cooling on a baking rack.

BAKED SWEET POTATO AND CREAM CHEESE



Baked Sweet Potato and Cream Cheese image

Squacquerone is an amazing cream cheese made by my friend Patricia. When eaten with the baked sweet potato and dressed with the chili etc, this makes a great supper that is really quick to make. I buy my squacquerone from my friend Patricia at La Fromagerie. If you do not have somebody who makes this, you can make your own. To make 450m / 15 fluid ounces, you take 170ml / 6 fluid ounces of the coldest, best cream cheese you can buy and mix with a tablespoon of cold creme fraiche, 2 large tablespoons of cold buttermilk, 3 large tablespoons of cold untreated organic natural yogurt, the juice of 1 lemon and sea salt to taste. Mix this up, cover the bowl and keep at the bottom of the refrigerator to mature for a minimum of 24 hours. This is best matured for 3 days, and will have a shelf life of 6 days. Amazing stuff.

4 sweet potatoes, washed
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 red chiles, finely sliced
2 spring onions, finely sliced
Squacquerone
4 handfuls wild rocket, washed
1 lemon, zested and juiced
Extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C/400 degrees F/gas mark 6.
  • Wash the sweet potatoes, prick them with a sharp knife, then sprinkle with a little sea salt. Bake them on the top shelf of the oven for about 50 minutes until soft.
  • Mix the chili and spring onion together. To serve the potatoes, make a cut in each potato and open out on a plate. Spoon on some of the cheese, sprinkle on the chili mix, then a handful of rocket, a very fine grating of lemon, sea salt, pepper, a drizzle of olive oil and finally a squeeze of lemon juice on each one. Delicious and so easy.
