What better way to say “I love you” than with something decadent and chocolate and made by your own hands— with farm fresh eggs? Thursday’s St. Paul Pioneer Press featured a recipe I’m planning to try. You give it a go, too, and we’ll compare notes!
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease 8 6-oz. ramekins with cooking-oil spray. Set aside.
In saucepan, combine milk, sugar, and vanilla bean scrapings. Heat over medium heat until scalded (just below boiling point). Remove from heat. Stir in chocolate until melted.
In mixing bowl, thoroughly whisk together eggs and yolks. Gradually add chocolate mixture, whisking constantly.
In a small saucepan, heat honey over medium heat for about three minutes or until it bubbles, darkens, and thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
Spoon 1 tablespoon cooked honey into each ramekin. Swirl to coat bottom. Arrange ramekins in 4-inch deep baking pan. Ladle ½ cup of the chocolate custard into each ramekin. Fill pan with enough boiling water to come one-quarter of the way up the sides of the ramekins. Cover pan loosely with foil. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until custards are barely set.
Carefully transfer ramekins to platter. Cool. Refrigerate until well-chilled.
To serve, dip bottom of each ramekin into hot water. Run hot knife around inside edge. Invert custards onto individual plates and garnish as desired. Best eaten when slightly cooler than room temperature.
*By my math, you’ll use only a half-cup of the honey called for here. The recipe says nothing about what to do with the rest, so I’m thinking I’ll be economical and heat only a half-cup of honey. As I said, we can compare notes later.
