Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 8 min.

Bring 1 lb + 1.6 oz whole milk to the boil in a saucepan on medium heat.

Stage 2 - 10 min.

As soon as it boils, turn off the heat, add 2.1 oz ground coffee and mix well. Cover and leave to infuse for 10 minutes.

Stage 3 - 1 min.

Meanwhile mix 6 egg yolks and 3.5 oz caster sugar in a small bowl.

Set aside.

Stage 4 - 2 min.

Filter the milk and coffee through a very fine strainer.

You can also pour it through a coffee filter, which is even more effective.

Stage 5 - 1 min.

Pour the coffee-flavoured milk onto the egg yolk and sugar mixture.

Stage 6 - 1 min.

Mix thoroughly with a soft spatula.

Stage 7 - 1 min.

Pour the mixture back into the saucepan (after washing it) and put back on low heat.

Stir constantly and gently...

Stage 8 - 5 min.

...until the custard "coats" the spatula: you should be able to leave a clear trace with your finger, like in the photo.

Take off the heat immediately and stand the saucepan in cold water, while continuing to stir for a few more minutes to stop the cooking.

Your coffee custard is ready.

Remarks

For the coffee flavour, you can use instant coffee or a coffee extract instead of the ground coffee.

Keeping: 1 or 2 days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.

Tradition says: "One should always cover a pan while heating". In other words, if you heat water (or something else), it comes to the boil faster with a lid on the pan than without. True or false? Let's try the experiment...
