WEIGHT CONVERTER
Method
- Set the oven to 150°C/300°F/Gas Mark 2.
- Pour the cream and milk into a pan and bring to the boil.
- Lightly beat the egg yolks in a bowl. Pour over the boiling cream mixture, whisking as the cream is added, so that the eggs don’t cook. Stir in the sugar until dissolved. Dissolve the coffee granules in 2 tbsp boiling water and add to the cream mixture.
- Strain the cream mixture through a sieve into a jug and then pour into the coffee cups.
- Put the cups in a roasting tin and pour in boiling water to come about halfway up the cups. Put the tin in the oven and bake for 45 mins to 1 hr, or until the mixture is just set. Remove from the oven and lift cups out of the water.
- When the cups are cool, refrigerate well before serving, dusted with cocoa powder.
