The Flan
1 cup mashed sweet potato
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 cup maple syrup
4 eggs
1 cup buttermilk (or yogurt)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Sea salt
Caramel Pecans and Maple Yogurt
1 teaspoon butter
1/2 cup pecans, broken or whole
1 teaspoon sugar
Sea salt
1 cup yogurt
1 tablespoon maple syrup

1
Heat the oven to 325u00b0 F. In a blender, combine the sweet potato, spices, maple syrup, eggs, buttermilk, vanilla, and 1/4 teaspoon salt and puree until smooth. Divide the puree among six custard dishes.
2
Put the custard dishes in a large baking pan and pour hot water into the pan until it reaches at least an inch up the sides of the dishes. Bake in the center of the oven for 45 minutes. The flans should be set and barely quiver when shaken. Let cool.
3
While the flan is cooling, melt the butter in a small pan over low heat. Then add the pecans, sprinkle with sugar, and turn to coat evenly. Cook, stirring frequently, until the sugar coats and caramelizes the nuts. Remove to a plate and sprinkle with salt. Chop as finely or coarsely as you want.
4
In a small bowl, combine the maple syrup and the yogurt. Taste, and add more maple syrup if you want. Serve the flan topped with a spoonful of maple yogurt, garnished with chopped caramel pecans.
