Ingredients

  • 250ml double cream
  • 200ml milk
  • 1/2 vanilla pod
  • 3 tbsp instant coffee
  • 3g gelatin, soaked in 3 tbsp water (This is minimum gelatin to settle, if you like more set, add up to 5g)

(For the topping cream)

  • 100ml whipping cream

(For the coffee sauce)

  • 1 tbsp instant coffee or espresso
  • 1 tbsp hot water
  • 1 1/2 tbsp honey (I used Scottish blossom honey)
  • 2 tbsp dark rum

Method

  • STEP 1
    Pour the double cream and the milk into a sauce pan. Slit the vanilla pod lengthways, add into the pan and bring to approx 50C. Never let it boil or form a skin on the milk. Remove from the heat, add the instant coffee and prepared gelatin, and stir until they dissolve completely. Set aside.
  • STEP 2
    Beat the egg yolks, sugar and rum together in a bowl, then pour the milk mixture over them, whisking.
  • STEP 3
    Strain the egg mixture once, and then divide evenly between the serving dishes. Cool a little, then chill in the fridge for 24 hours.
  • STEP 4
    To make the coffee sauce, mix all the ingredients well together and chill in the fridge. Together with whipped cream, pour it over the coffee cream just before serve ---- Heaven!!!
