Cafe au Lait Pots de Creme
- 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
- 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.
