Instructions
Start Cooking

Preheat the oven to 360°F.
In a blender, combine the roasted sweet potato, dates, and soy milk. Blend until smooth and fully combined.
1 roasted sweet potato, 5 dates, 100 mL soy milk
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the blended oats, almond flour, matcha, baking powder, and salt. Pour in the sweet potato mixture and mix until a dough forms.
1 cup blended oats, 1 cup almond flour, 1.5 Tbsp culinary grade matcha, 1 tsp baking powder, ½ tsp salt
Lightly grease a standard 12-well muffin tray with avocado oil. Press the crust mixture evenly into each well, forming a base and slight sides.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow the crusts to cool completely before filling.
To make the tofu custard, blend the orange, dates, and 50 mL soy milk until smooth. Add the silken tofu, cinnamon, and salt, and blend again until creamy.
1 medium orange, 5 dates, 50 mL soy milk, 400 g silken tofu, ¼ tsp cinnamon, ¼ tsp salt
Transfer the mixture to a large saucepan over low to medium heat. Slowly stir in the cornstarch slurry, then increase to medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, for 10–15 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to a custard consistency.
2 Tbsp corn starch
Spoon the custard evenly into the cooled crusts.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight, until fully set. Garnish with matcha powder and orange zest before serving.
