Ingredients
- For the Maple Pot de Crème
- 4 large egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
- ½ vanilla bean, split lengthwise, seeds scraped and reserved
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1½ cups heavy cream
- For the Bourbon Cream
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon bourbon
- For Assembly
- Cocoa powder, for dusting
- Flaky sea salt (such as Maldon)
Directions
- Make the maple pot de crème: In a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the egg yolks, brown sugar, vanilla bean, maple syrup, salt and heavy cream until smooth. Cook, stirring constantly using a rubber spatula, until the mixture has thickened and begins to bubble, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and strain through a fine-mesh sieve over a glass measuring cup.
- Divide the mixture among 2 small glasses. Chill, uncovered, for at least 2 hours or until the pot de crème has set.
- Meanwhile, make the bourbon cream: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the cream and bourbon together until soft peaks form.
- To assemble, remove the pot de crème and top with a dollop of bourbon cream, a dusting of cocoa powder and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
