01 Wash and peel the purple sweet potatoes if desired.
02 Cut the purple sweet potatoes into thick, even slices.
03 Arrange the slices in a single layer on a steaming tray.
04 Fill the water tank of the LumiBake S1 18L.
05 Place the tray in the oven.
06 Select Steam mode and cook at 100°C until the purple sweet potato slices are completely tender.
07 Carefully remove the tray after the steam has safely dispersed.
08 Transfer the steamed purple sweet potato slices to a large mixing bowl.
09 Add granulated sugar according to taste.
10 Pour in enough milk to help create a smooth mixture.
11 Mash thoroughly with a fork until the purple sweet potato becomes smooth and evenly combined.
12 Take a portion of purple sweet potato mixture and flatten it in your palm.
13 Place a small amount of shredded cheese in the centre.
14 Bring the purple sweet potato mixture around the cheese and seal it completely.
15 Roll gently to form a smooth ball.
16 Repeat with the remaining purple sweet potato mixture and cheese.
17 Place a ready-made round pie crust sheet on its backing paper.
18 Cut the pie crust into four equal sections.
19 Peel one pastry section away from its backing paper.
20 Place a filled purple sweet potato ball in the centre of the pastry.
21 Wrap the pastry around the ball and press the overlapping edges gently to secure it.
22 Repeat until all the purple sweet potato balls are wrapped.
23 Arrange the pastries on a parchment-lined baking tray, leaving space between them.
24 Brush the surfaces evenly with beaten egg yolk.
25 Sprinkle black sesame seeds over the top of each pastry.
26 Place the tray in the LumiBake S1 18L.
27 Select Air Fry mode and cook at 180°C for 16 minutes.
28 Remove the pastries when the surfaces are puffed and evenly golden brown.
29 Allow them to cool briefly before serving, as the cheese filling will be very hot.
30 Serve warm for the best melted-cheese texture.
