Servings: 6 servings
Author: Shawn

Ingredients

  • 60 g Irish cream, such as Bailey's (1/4 cup)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 40 g sugar (scant 1/4 cup)
  • Pinch kosher salt
  • 360 g heavy cream (1 1/2 cups)
  • 60 g milk (1/4 cup)
  • 1/8 tsp freshly ground nutmeg optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 300°F. Place six 4-ounce ramekins in a baking dish.
  • Place Irish cream and vanilla in a large measuring cup with a pour spout.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together egg yolks and sugar until light, about 1 minute.
  • Heat salt, cream, and milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring often, until just barely simmering.
  • While whisking the egg mixture rapidly, slowly pour in hot cream. Strain mixture into the Irish cream and stir to combine.
  • Divide mixture among the six ramekins and sprinkle each with nutmeg.
  • Heat about 4-6 cups water until boiling.
  • Place baking pan with ramekins in the oven and pour hot water into the baking pan until it comes halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
  • Bake 25-30 minutes, or until set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Remove from oven and let ramekins stand in the hot water for 5 minutes, before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Cover and refrigerate completely, about 4 hours.
