Number Of Ingredients 10

Unsalted butter, melted, for custard cups
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons instant espresso powder
3 large egg yolks
1 large whole egg
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1 ounce shaved chocolate, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Place a roasting pan 3/4 full of hot water in an oven heated to 300 degrees. Brush four 6-ounce custard cups with melted butter. Set aside. Combine the cream, milk, and espresso in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring almost to a simmer. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Whisk together egg yolks, whole egg, sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Add a little of the hot milk mixture to the egg mixture, and whisk well. Add the remaining milk mixture, and whisk again to combine well. Strain mixture through a sieve. Pour into the custard cups, and place in water bath in the oven, making sure that the water comes 3/4 of the way up sides of cups. Bake until the custard is set, about 35 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and water bath. Cool for about 20 minutes. Loosen custards with a knife. Invert onto serving dishes; top with chocolate. Alternatively, refrigerate, and turn out when needed.

I had some trouble getting the custard to set. I think I may have overcooked it. But even though it was a little runny, it still tasted delicious.

This custard was a little too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

I'm not a huge fan of coffee, but I still enjoyed this custard. It was sweet and creamy, with a hint of caramel. I think it would be even better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

The coffee flavor in this custard is subtle but noticeable. It gives the custard a rich and complex flavor that is perfect for coffee lovers.
