Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons honey
• 2 cups whole milk
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 pieces ripe peaches (or other stone fruits)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 4 leaves fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, and 3 tablespoons of honey. Heat gently over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until just warmed. Avoid boiling. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until light and frothy.

Step 4

Slowly pour the warmed milk mixture into the bowl of whisked eggs while stirring continuously to temper the eggs and prevent curdling.

Step 5

Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into another bowl to remove any curdled bits and ensure a smooth custard.

Step 6

Divide the custard mixture evenly among 4 small oven-safe ramekins. Place the ramekins in a deep baking dish and fill the dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.

Step 7

Carefully transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly wobbly in the center.

Step 8

While the custard bakes, slice the peaches into wedges. Heat the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the peach slices. Sprinkle with the remaining honey and a splash of lemon juice.

Step 9

Cook the peaches for 3-5 minutes on each side, or until caramelized and golden.

Step 10

Once the custards are baked, remove them from the oven and water bath. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Step 11

To serve, top each custard with a few caramelized peach slices, drizzle with additional honey if desired, and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
