Ingredients

• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Pure maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 6 large Egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0 optional (for garnish) Whipped cream
• 0 optional (for garnish) Chopped nuts

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Arrange six 6-ounce ramekins in a large baking dish or roasting pan.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and maple syrup. Heat the mixture over medium heat until just about to boil, then remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and slightly thickened.

Step 4

Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.

Step 5

Strain the custard mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup or bowl to remove any lumps or cooked egg bits.

Step 6

Divide the custard evenly among the prepared ramekins. Carefully pour hot water into the baking dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins to create a water bath.

Step 7

Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the custards are set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.

Step 8

Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature. Then transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Step 9

Before serving, garnish with whipped cream and chopped nuts, if desired. Enjoy your elegant Maple Pots De Creme!
