How to Make Baked Custard With Coffee Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs until lightly frothy.
  3. Gradually whisk in 2 cups whole milk, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
  4. Place an ungreased 4 1/2- or 5-cup ovenproof casserole dish or ring mold in a 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
  5. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared mold.
  6. Carefully pour boiling water into the baking pan, surrounding the mold to a depth of 1 inch.
  7. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  8. Remove the mold from the water bath and let cool on a wire rack.
  9. Cover and chill the custard in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
  10. While the custard chills, prepare the coffee sauce: In a small saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup light corn syrup, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and 2 tablespoons instant coffee granules.
  11. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens. (About 2-3 minutes).
  12. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon coffee liqueur (optional).
  13. Cover and chill the sauce in the refrigerator until serving time.
  14. To serve, gently unmold the chilled custard onto a serving plate.
  15. Drizzle generously with the chilled coffee sauce.
  16. Serves 8.
