Dinner isn't complete without dessert.... Baked Custards!!!

No dinner is complete without a deliciously fattening dessert! Combine this with Master 3 pestering me 24/7 for custard, and I have the perfect opportunity to create another recipe! Baked Custards!

600ml pure (thin) cream
300ml milk
1/4 cup (55g) caster sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
Icing sugar to serve

I did say fattening!

1. Pre-heat oven to 140oC
2. Combine the cream, milk, sugar, eggs and vanilla in a bowl, lightly whisking to combine. Strain through a fine sieve into a jug.
3. Pour into six 200ml ramekins. Place ramekins in a roasting pan then pour enough boiling water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins

4. Bake for 1 - 1 1/4 hours until the custards have set, but still have a slight wobble. Cool slightly, then refrigerate.
5. To serve, cut a shape (I choose star) slightly smaller than the top of the ramekins from a square of baking paper. Sit the baking paper square over the custard and dust with icing sugar. Repeat with the remaining custards and serve.

And Master 3 - Two thumbs up and is having left overs for breakfast :P

Really this was quite simple to make, it just lacked (for me anyway) the 'WOW' factor.
