How to Make Cinnamon Espresso Cup Custard Dorie Greenspan

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
  3. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth.
  4. Add the espresso powder, cinnamon, and vanilla extract; whisk until combined.
  5. Heat the mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it comes to a simmer and thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
  6. Remove from heat and stir in the egg yolks one at a time, whisking vigorously after each addition.
  7. Divide the custard evenly among six (6-ounce) ramekins or oven-safe cups.
  8. Place the ramekins in a larger baking dish.
  9. Pour enough hot water into the baking dish to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins (this creates a water bath).
  10. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the custards are set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  11. Remove from the water bath and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
