I believe this recipe was part of a wedding favor - perhaps it was served as dessert? Anyway, it sounds yummy, so I'm posting it so I can have the recipe at hand and try it soon! Ingredients:
2 cups whipping cream |
1/2 cup sugar |
2 teaspoons instant espresso powder |
5 large egg yolks |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
3 tablespoons brown sugar, packed |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
2. Arrange 6 3/4 cup ramekins in a 13X9X2 inch metal baking pan.
3. Combine cream, sugar and espresso powder in a heavy saucepan. Bring to simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat.
4. Whisk yolks, cinnamon, and nutmeg in medium bowl.
5. Gradually whisk in cream mixture, then vanilla.
6. Divide custard among ramekins.
7. Pour enough hot water into pan to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
