How to Make Kahlua Pot De Creme

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups whole milk and 1 cinnamon stick. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  3. Remove from heat; cover and let steep for 20 minutes.
  4. Strain the milk mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a 4-cup glass measuring cup. Discard the cinnamon stick.
  5. In a mixing bowl, beat 6 large egg yolks and ¾ cup granulated sugar together on medium speed until pale yellow and thick (about 3-5 minutes).
  6. Add ½ cup Kahlua to the egg yolk mixture and beat until well combined.
  7. Gradually whisk in the warm milk mixture using a rubber spatula until completely smooth.
  8. Strain the custard mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into the measuring cup again to remove any lumps or foam.
  9. Divide the custard evenly among eight 4-ounce ovenproof ramekins or espresso cups.
  10. Place the ramekins in a roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
  11. Loosely cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil.
  12. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-27 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly jiggly.
  13. Carefully remove the ramekins from the water bath and let cool to room temperature on a wire rack (15-20 minutes).
  14. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  15. Before serving, sprinkle the tops with 2 ounces of grated bittersweet chocolate (optional) and garnish with fresh berries (optional).
