How to Make Maple Custard
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, maple syrup, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt until thoroughly combined and the sugar is dissolved.
- Strain the custard mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a separate bowl to remove any egg white strands for a super-smooth texture.
- Divide the custard evenly among four (6-ounce) ramekins.
- Place the ramekins in a larger baking dish. Pour enough hot water into the baking dish to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins (this creates a bain-marie for even baking).
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the custards are set around the edges and the center is just slightly jiggly. A knife inserted near the center should come out with a few moist crumbs attached.
- Carefully remove the ramekins from the water bath and let cool slightly on a wire rack.
- Serve warm or chilled. Garnish with a drizzle of extra maple syrup and a sprinkle of chopped pecans or walnuts (optional).
