How to Make Easter Peeps Pots De Crme

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is just simmering.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and crushed Easter Peeps. Let the mixture cool slightly.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until light and frothy.
  4. Slowly drizzle about 1/3 of the warm cream mixture into the egg yolks, whisking constantly to temper the yolks.
  5. Pour the tempered yolk mixture into the remaining cream mixture and whisk to combine.
  6. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any lumps or bits of Peep.
  7. Divide the mixture evenly among six (6 ounce) ramekins or small dessert cups.
  8. Cover the ramekins with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the crème to prevent a skin from forming.
  9. Refrigerate overnight, or for at least 6 hours, to allow the crème to set.
  10. Before serving, garnish each pot de crème with a mini Easter Peep and a sprinkle of confectioners' sugar (optional).
