Coffee Custard with Espresso Infusion

Coffee Custard with Espresso Infusion is a delectable dessert that combines the rich flavors of coffee and custard. This dish is perfect for coffee lovers who want to indulge in a sweet treat.
To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients per serving: 1 egg yolk, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup milk, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon instant espresso powder, and 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch.
To start, preheat your oven to 325°F. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and sugar until the mixture becomes pale and thick. In a separate saucepan, heat the heavy cream, milk, vanilla extract, and instant espresso powder until it comes to a simmer.
Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling. Add the cornstarch and whisk until well combined.
Pour the mixture into a ramekin or custard cup and place it in a baking dish. Fill the baking dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekin.
Bake the custard for 30-35 minutes or until it is set but still jiggly in the center. Remove the ramekin from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, refrigerate the custard for at least 2 hours or until it is completely chilled. Serve the Coffee Custard with Espresso Infusion chilled and garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cocoa powder.
This dish is a perfect combination of creamy custard and bold coffee flavor. The espresso infusion adds a rich depth of flavor that is sure to satisfy any coffee lover's cravings.
