Coffee Pots de Creme

by:




Pots de creme (pronounced poe de krem) get their name from the little pots with lids that are traditionally used to bake the custard. Since these are expensive and have only one use, you can use small ramekins instead. Because pots de creme are made with a mixture of milk and cream, they are halfway in richness between creme caramel and creme brulée. These pots de creme are flavored with coffee, which is easiest to do by whisking some instant coffee into the hot milk and cream. However, a much deeper coffee flavor is extracted by infusing the hot milk and cream with ground coffee and then straining it out. Makes six 4-ounces pots de creme.
