VANILLA and CHOCOLATE CAPPUCCINO CUSTARD - Custard 101

Makes 6 servings

bulletNonstick cooking spray
bullet2-1/2 inch piece vanilla bean, split lengthwise
bullet1-3/4 cups heavy cream
bullet2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
bullet5 tablespoons sugar
bullet4 large egg yolks
bullet1 large egg
bullet1/4 cup sour cream
bullet4 teaspoons clear (white) rum
bulletpinch of salt
bullet4 teaspoons espresso powder
bulletchocolate covered coffee beans, for garnish

Instructions:

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray about six 1-cup custard cups. Place cups in a shallow baking pan.

Scrape seeds from vanilla bean into small saucepan; add bean. Mix in 1/2 cup of the cream and chocolate. Stir over low heat just until smooth. Set aside.

Whisk remaining 1-1/4 cups cream, sugar, yolks, egg, sour cream, rum and salt in medium bowl until smooth. Strain chocolate mixture into egg mixture and whisk to blend. Pour 1/4 cup custard mixture into each custard cup; reserve remaining custard.

Pour enough hot water into baking pan to come halfway up sides of cups. Bake until custard sets, about 25 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes.

Add espresso to remaining custard mixture, stirring until dissolved. Spoon espresso custard over chocolate custard, dividing evenly. Bake until custards set, about 30 minutes. Remove from water.

Chill, uncovered, until cold. (May be made 1 day ahead. Cover; keep chilled.)

Cut around custard cup sides to loosen custards, turning out onto plates. Garnish with coffee beans and serve.
