Coffee Crème Caramel


Coffee Crème Caramel

                Ingredients                               Yield: 4 Servings
  • 2                           Eggs
  • 1                           Egg Yolk
  • 60g (1/3c)            Granulated Sugar
  • 5ml (1tsp)             Vanilla Extract
  • 310ml (3 1/3c)      Milk
  • 25g (1/4c+2Tbsp) Coffee, ground
  • 120g (2/3c)          Granulated Sugar
  • 15ml (1Tbsp)        Water
                Instructions
  1. Combine the 120g of sugar and the water in a small pot on medium-high heat and turn into a caramel. (Just keep and eye on it as it will smell slightly burnt when ready).
  2. While making the caramel, combine milk and coffee grounds in a pot on medium-high heat and scald. Once it starts to foam remove from heat.
  3. While the caramel and coffee milk are heating, whisk together eggs, egg yolk, 60g granulated sugar and vanilla in a bowl until sugar has dissolved. Set aside.
  4. By now the caramel should be ready. Remove from heat and pour into ramekins/ small mason jars so that the bottom of each has a coating of caramel. Let cool until the caramel hardens.
  5. While the caramel is cooling, gradually whisk in the hot coffee milk into the egg mixture until it is all combined.
  6. Pass the mixture through a fine mesh strainer.
  7. Take ramekins and place in a 9x13inch pan lined with a wet dishcloth.
  8. If the caramel has cooled fill the ramekins up evenly with the custard mixture. 
  9. Add enough boiling water to the pan to go halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
  10. Bake in a preheated 325 degree Fahrenheit oven for 30-40 minutes until the custard has set. To test, shake the pan and if it has a slight jiggle in the centre they are ready or insert a toothpick and it should come out clean.
  11. Remove ramekins from water, cover and refrigerate for 24 hours.
  12. To remove from ramekins, slide a knife around the edge of the custard, place a plate over top, invert the plate and shake until it slides out.
  13. Serve and enjoy!
