Preparation time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 30 minutes | Total Time: 40 minutes | Serves: 4

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup espresso or strong coffee
  • 4 egg yolks

  • Pinch of salt

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F.
  2. In a saucepan, heat the cream, sugar, and espresso over medium heat until steaming but not boiling.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, vanilla extract, and salt.
  4. Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly.
  5. Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps.
