- Spread the dough into 6 tart molds and bake for approx. 15 minutes or until crisp and lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool down completely.
Purple sweet potato dip

- Place on a baking sheet and put them into the oven to bake for 30-45 minutes depending on size.
- Check at 30 minutes by inserting a fork into the center. They should be soft. If not, return to the oven and check again in 10 minutes. Let them cool down a bit before peeling.
