Preparation

In food processor, mix sweet potatoes with coriander, lime juice, salt and pepper. Blend in egg whites (about 2 tbsp/30 mL or one egg white at a time). Pour in cream and blend until well combined. Divide mixture equally among six well-buttered 1/2-cup (125 mL) ramekins or custard cups. Place ramekins in baking pan; pour in enough boiling water to come halfway up sides of dishes. Cover with foil; using the tip of a knife make a few small vents.

Bake in 350 ºF (180 ºC) oven for about 40 minutes or until tester inserted in centre of a timbale comes out clean. Let stand for 2 to 3 minutes; run knife around edge of each timbale and turn out onto warmed plates.

Garnish each timbale with dollop of sour cream and sprig of coriander.
