Coffee pot de creme is a luxurious French dessert. This smooth and silky custard can be flavored a thousand ways (i.e. chocolate, vanilla, orange) but this recipe focuses on coffee. The cream is heated until warm and then whisked with egg yolks to form the base. It is very important to strain the custard before baking it to ensure that there are no lumps. Pot de creme is simple enough to make everyday but elegant enough to serve at a dinner party.
Ingredients:
3 cups heavy or whipping cream
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons instant coffee powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 325 F.
Pour the mixture into eight 1/2-cup pot-de-creme cups.
Place the cups in a pan and fill the pan with water to come halfway up the sides of the cups.
Remove the cups from the water bath and let cool to room temperature.
Refrigerate the pots de creme for several hours.
