directions

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
  • In a saucepan, combine the cream, the seeds from the vanilla bean and a pinch of salt and bring to a simmer.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the yolks and ½ cup of the sugar until the mixture is thick and pale and add the hot cream mixture in a thin stream, whisking constantly.
  • Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl, skim off the foam and divide among 6 buttered ramekins.
  • Arrange ramekins in a baking dish with enough hot water to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
  • Bake creams, covered loosely with foil, in the middle of the preheated oven for 1- 1 ¼ hours or until set.
  • Let cool on a rack and chill the creams, covered, for atleast 3 hours or overnight.
  • In a saucepan combine the remaining 2 cups sugar with 1 cup water.
  • Bring to a boil and boil it, undisturbed until it is a deep caramel in colour.
  • Remove from the heat.
  • Pour 1 ¼ cups water carefully into the side of the pan in a stream, stirring, and stir in the Kahlua and espresso.
  • Let the sauce cool and chill it, covered.
  • Spoon some of the sauce onto each of 6 plates.
  • Run a thin knife around the edges of the ramekins and unmold onto the plates.

I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages! I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure. So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call. What did I do wrong? Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths. I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
