From some instagram recipe I lost the link to.
Total time: 20 mins + 60 mins bake + 3h fridge
Special equipment
- 3 ramekins or oven-safe small coffee mugs
- Loaf pan or baking dish, that can fit the ramekins and be filled with water to reach at least 1/3 up the ramekins
- Nice to have: 2-cup glass measuring cup
Ingredients
Makes 3 servings – 380cal; 9g protein, 26g fat, 30g carbs
- 3 bags earl grey tea (ideally decaf for this late night dessert)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 egg yolks
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 3oz chocolate, chopped
- Recommended: a mix of dark + semisweet
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Tiny pinch of salt
Optional: fresh whipped cream, for serving
Directions
- Preheat oven to 325°F
- In a saucepan - heat milk and cream until just before boiling
- ~180F, or when you start to see wisps of steam or individual bubbles appearing
- Remove from heat and add tea bags, infuse for 5 mins
- While waiting, chop chocolate and set aside
- Remove tea bags to a bowl, use a spoon to squeeze out any remaining liquid
- Add chocolate to warm milk, whisk until melted and combined
- Add a pinch of salt to milk mixture
- Prep “final bowl” that will eventually hold everything – ideally a 2-cup glass measuring cup, or a metal bowl
- In “final bowl” - whisk together egg yolks and brown sugar
- In “final bowl” - temper in the chocolate mixture into eggs
- Add vanilla extract
- Pour mixture into ramekins
- Tent ramekins with foil
- Put ramekins in loaf pan or baking dish, and fill with hot water at least 1/3 up the ramekins
- Bake at 325°F for ~55-60 mins, until firm on the outside while jiggly in the center
- Remove and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours, ideally overnight (the longer the better)
