Ingredients
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup cream
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon instant espresso (or coffee) powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch salt
- 1 egg, plus 2 egg yolks
Directions
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Heat the milk, cream, sugars, espresso, vanilla and salt in a medium saucepan over low heat until just boiling. Remove from heat. Whisk the egg and yolks in a measuring cup and temper by mixing in a small amount of the cream mixture into the eggs before adding the rest of the cream mixture.
Pour into 4 (4-ounce) ramekins and arrange on a baking dish. Fill the baking dish halfway with very hot water but not boiling, being careful not to splash water into the ramekins. Put in the oven and bake until the edges are set, but the center is still a little wobbly, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove immediately from the water bath to a baking dish filled with ice to chill quickly. Keep refrigerated until serving.

Loved this, I substituted the espresso for half a bag of milk chocolate chips, this is the second time I made this. It's so yummy!

This was easy and very good. It has a strong coffee flavor which we liked, but something to keep in mind.

I was a little skeptical to try this recipe, but boy am I happy that I did! Delicious, creamy, silky and smooth! Just the perfect pick me up dessert! I had no instant espresso in my pantry, so I tried it with cocoa powder, and I was so happy with the results. Chocolate goodness all around! This is a definite go to dessert. SO DELICIOUS! WOW!
