Time 1h15m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 cup whole milk
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus additional for dusting
4 large egg yolks
1 large egg
1/4 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Fill a kettle with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Butter 6 1/2 -cup heatproof custard or pudding cups.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the milk, cream, nutmeg and cinnamon. Set over low heat until steaming, then remove from heat and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, egg and sugar. Continue to whisk while slowly adding the warm milk mixture. When the mixture is smooth, pour into the custard cups. Cover each cup with aluminum foil.
  • Arrange the cups in a deep baking dish large enough to hold them snugly. Carefully add boiling water to come almost all the way up the sides of the cups. Bake until the centers of the puddings reach 190 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, 45 to 55 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes. Run a thin flexible knife along the upper inside edge of each pudding to loosen it. Hold a small plate firmly over a custard cup, invert the cup and plate, then remove the cup. Repeat with the remaining cups. Serve warm, paired with something slightly acidic, like apple slices in simple syrup with lemon juice.

Hind's Head Quaking Pudding image

This is a revisited recipe of a medieval dessert served at the Hind's Head Restaurant by the great chef Heston Blumenthal ( love the guy). Its a cross between a custard tart without pastry and a bread pudding. I read on another recipe that I found that you can add 35g brioche crumbs.

  • Pay Attention to Cooking Times and Temperatures: Follow the recipe's instructions closely, especially regarding cooking times and temperatures. Overcooking can result in a rubbery, dense pudding, while undercooking can leave it runny and unsafe to consume. Use a kitchen thermometer to ensure accurate temperatures.
  • Chill the Pudding Thoroughly: Chilling the pudding allows it to set properly and develop its full flavor. Make sure to chill the pudding for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This will ensure a smooth, creamy texture.
  • Garnish and Serve Creatively: When serving the quaking pudding, consider garnishing it with fresh fruits, berries, whipped cream, or shaved chocolate. This adds visual appeal and enhances the overall presentation. Serve the pudding in individual bowls or glasses for a sophisticated touch.
