Ingredients

6 egg yolks

3/4 cup real maple syrup

1 cup heavy cream

3/4 cup milk

1/2 cup cream cheese, at room temperature

Pinch ground cinnamon

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  2. In a small bowl beat the egg yolks to a homogeneous consistency and whisk in the maple syrup. Set aside.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream and milk and bring it slowly to a simmer. Whisk in the cream cheese and cinnamon. Just before the milk mixture comes to a boil remove it from the heat and pour half of it into the beaten eggs. Immediately stir everything back into the saucepan.
  4. Pour the milk egg mixture into 6 (4-ounce) tea cups or ramekins. Place all the cups into a roasting pan and fill it halfway with hot water. Cover with foil and bake in the oven until the custard is set, 35 to 45 minutes.
  5. Chill completely before serving.

MICHELE R.

Flavor was great and the level of sweetness just right - not overly sweet in the least. Hooray. Texture was different than some, including me, expected for a dessert labeled pot de creme. The cream cheese makes this denser with not quite a cheesecake texture but for sure more dense than a normal pot de creme. Very simple to make. Puffed up when we baked it to fill a full 8 oz size custard cup. But then collapsed as it cooled to about 4 oz fill size. Good enough but with so many recipes and so little time not sure I'd make it again. Still, some guests asked for the recipe so I guess tha means it was a hit. As for presentation, the looks of this falls in the category of ugly but tasty.
