Raspberry Cup Custard With Graham Cracker Crust
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 12 cup sugar, plus
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 6 large egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon dark rum
- 36 fresh raspberries
- sugar, for glazing (optional)
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees and set a rack in the middle.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup of the sugar, and the melted butter.
- Divide the mixture among 4 (1-cup) custard cups and press down to form a crust on the bottom.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the cream and 1 tablespoon of the remaining tablespoon of sugar.
- Scald and remove from the heat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the yolks, the remaining tablespoon of sugar, vanilla, and rum.
- Whisk lightly, just to combine.
- Whisking lightly, gradually drizzle the scalded cream mixture into the egg mixture to warm it without scrambling the eggs.
- Strain the mixture and pour into custard cups.
- Place 6 raspberries in each cup, dunking them so they are coated with custard.
- Arrange the cups in a roasting pan and pour in hot water halfway up the sides.
- Cover the pan with foil and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the custards are set.
- Cool in the pan, then refrigerate, covered, up to 2 days ahead.
- If you like, sprinkle a light layer of sugar over each custard and place under a preheated broiler for about 2 to 4 minutes, watching that they don't burn.
- Serve immediately after glazing.
