CARDAMOM-COFFEE CUSTARD
Steps:
- In a nonreactive saucepan, bring the milk, vanilla bean, crushed coffee beans and cardamom to a simmer over medium heat. Immediately turn off the heat and set aside to infuse for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or using a hand mixer), whip the egg yolks, sugar and salt until pale yellow and fluffy. With the mixer running at low speed, mix in the cornstarch, then very gradually pour in the hot milk mixture, mixing it in as you go.
- Strain the mixture through a fine sieve back into the saucepan, to smooth it and to remove the spices. Whisking constantly, cook over medium-high heat until thick and just boiling. When the mixture thickens, the whisk will leave trail marks on the bottom of the pot and the mixture will have a few large bubbles boiling up to the top. Cook just until no starchy taste or feeling remains. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter until melted. Pour into 4 custard cups, ramekins, or mugs and chill, uncovered, at least 2 hours or overnight. Serve chilled, placing a whole coffee bean in the center of each serving.

Steps:
- Place a roasting pan 3/4 full of hot water in an oven heated to 300 degrees. Brush four 6-ounce custard cups with melted butter. Set aside. Combine the cream, milk, and espresso in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring almost to a simmer. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Whisk together egg yolks, whole egg, sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Add a little of the hot milk mixture to the egg mixture, and whisk well. Add the remaining milk mixture, and whisk again to combine well. Strain mixture through a sieve. Pour into the custard cups, and place in water bath in the oven, making sure that the water comes 3/4 of the way up sides of cups. Bake until the custard is set, about 35 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and water bath. Cool for about 20 minutes. Loosen custards with a knife. Invert onto serving dishes; top with chocolate. Alternatively, refrigerate, and turn out when needed.
Tips:
- Use Fresh Kona Coffee: The quality of your coffee will greatly impact the flavor of your custard, so be sure to use freshly ground Kona coffee beans.
- Don't Overcook the Custard: Keep a close eye on the custard as it cooks, and remove it from the heat as soon as it has reached the desired consistency. Overcooked custard will be rubbery and tough.
- Chill the Custard Thoroughly: Once the custard has been cooked, chill it thoroughly in the refrigerator before serving. This will help the flavors to develop and will make the custard more refreshing.
- Use High-Quality Vanilla Extract: The vanilla extract is another key ingredient in this recipe, so be sure to use a high-quality extract that has a strong flavor.
- Garnish with Fresh Berries: When serving the custard, garnish it with fresh berries for a pop of color and flavor.
