Baked Butterscotch Custard

Ingredients (serves 6)

• 2 cups (500ml) cream
• 2 eggs
• 2 egg yolks
• 1/3 cup (80g) caster sugar
• 1/4 cup (60ml) butterscotch schnapps
• 80g Nestle Plaistowe dark cooking chocolate
• Icing sugar, to dust

Method

1. Preheat oven to 150°C. Heat the cream in a saucepan over a medium heat until hot but not boiling. Remove from the heat.
2. Meanwhile, place the eggs, egg yolks and sugar in a heatproof bowl. Whisk until well combined.
3. Slowly add the hot cream to the egg mixture, whisking to combine. Whisk in the butterscotch schnapps.
4. Place 6 x 3/4 cup (185ml) ovenproof cups or dishes in a baking dish. Place four squares of chocolate in each cup. Divide the cream mixture among the cups. Fill the baking dish with enough hot water to come half-way up the sides of the dishes. Bake for 40 minutes or until set and firm to a light touch. Set aside for 20 minutes. Serve dusted with icing sugar.
