Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 6 large Egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- optional (for garnish) Whipped cream
- optional (for garnish) Chopped nuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Arrange six 6-ounce ramekins in a large baking dish or roasting pan.
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and maple syrup. Heat the mixture over medium heat until just about to boil, then remove from heat and set aside.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and slightly thickened.
Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.
Strain the custard mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup or bowl to remove any lumps or cooked egg bits.
Divide the custard evenly among the prepared ramekins. Carefully pour hot water into the baking dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins to create a water bath.
Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the custards are set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature. Then transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Before serving, garnish with whipped cream and chopped nuts, if desired. Enjoy your elegant Maple Pots De Creme!
