Ingredients
For the Custard
- 150 g fresh goat cheese Creamy and tangy, this cheese adds a luscious depth to the custard.
- 200 ml heavy cream Rich and smooth, it enriches the texture, rendering the dish indulgent.
For Topping
- Fig chili jam Sweet and spicy, this jam brings an unexpected twist, balancing flavor profiles.
- Black pepper (optional) A hint of spiciness can elevate the dish and add complexity.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F). Ensure your oven is preheated, as even temperatures are key to a perfectly baked custard.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the goat cheese and heavy cream. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, with no lumps remaining.
- Pour the mixture into ramekins, filling them about three-quarters full.
Baking
- Place the ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with hot water to create a water bath.
- Bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly wobbly in the center.
Cooling and Serving
- Let it cool before refrigerating for at least 2 hours.
- Before serving, top with a spoonful of fig chili jam.
- For a spicy touch, you can add a black pepper caramel topping. Sprinkle a few grinds of black pepper over the jam if desired.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Control the heat with a water bath to prevent curdling. Chill properly before serving.
