Baked spiced custard

Serves: 6
Cooking Time: 1 hr 20 mins

Ingredients

  • 1 litre fresh cream
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 165g (¾ cup) castor sugar
  • 5ml (1 tsp) vanilla extract
  • 2,5ml (½ tsp) ground cinnamon
  • freshly grated nutmeg, for sprinkling

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 150ºC.

2

Cook the cream in a saucepan over high heat until it is hot but not boiling.

3

Place the eggs, yolks, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon in a bowl and whisk until well combined. Gradually add the hot cream, whisking well to combine.

Pour into a 1,75 litre capacity ovenproof dish and sprinkle with nutmeg. Place in a deep baking dish and pour in enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the dish. Bake until the custard is just set, about 1 hour.
