Pot au Cafe Chantilly

By Sean Paajanen, About.com

A very rich custard-style dessert. It's not heavily flavoured with coffee, so it's a subtle taste to enjoy after a good meal. Even so, the Pot au Cafe Chantilly is a very decadent dessert.

Ingredients:

  • 2 tbs instant coffee crystals
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup double cream
  • 7 eggs
  • 8 oz sugar
  • 2 tbs caster sugar
  • Vanilla extract, to taste

Preparation:

Blend eggs, sugar, coffee crystals and vanilla together. In a saucepan, bring milk almost to a boil. Add hot milk to the egg mixture, slowly and stirring constantly. Pour into a casserole dish, and place in a bain marie. Bake at 350F for 1 1/4 hours, until set. Let cool. Beat whipping cream and caster sugar together until stiff. Pipe a border of cream around the edge.
