Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/2 cups
Heavy whipping cream
12 packets
Splenda
3 tablespoons instant
coffee powder
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
4
egg yolks
Preheat oven to 325.
Pour the cream into a saucepan and place over medium heat until small
bubbles appear along the edges of the pan. Add the sugar, instant coffee,
salt and vanilla and stir until the sugar and coffee dissolve. Remove from
the heat.
In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks until blended. Add the hot cream mixture VERY
slowly while whisking constantly to prevent curdling. Pour into four
ovenproof 1-cup custard cups (you can make 8 smaller cups but you will need
to severely reduce baking time). Place the cups in a baking pan and add hot
water to reach halfway up the sides of the cups. Cover the pan with aluminum
foil.
Bake until just set but the centers still move slightly when the cups are
shaken, about 35 minutes. For 8 half-size servings, it will only take about
20 minutes. Remove from the oven and remove the cups from the water bath.
Let cool, then cover cups with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2
hours before serving.
