Description

Sweet and spicy dessert. The flavors make the whole house smell wonderful. Easy and tasty alike.

Ingredients

  • 2-½ cups Heavy Cream, Divided
  • ½ cups Whole Milk
  • ½ cups Chai Concentrate
  • ½ teaspoons Ginger
  • 1 whole Cinnamon Stick
  • 1 teaspoon Cardamom
  • 8 whole Cloves
  • ¼ teaspoons Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
  • 4 whole Egg Yolks
  • ½ cups Brown Sugar

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 325°F. In a saucepan, bring 1 1/2 cups cream, the milk, chai concentrate, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves and crushed red pepper to a boil; simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, cover and let steep for 15 minutes.

Place six 1/2-cup ramekins in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Strain the cream mixture into a bowl, pressing on the solids; discard the solids.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and brown sugar. Whisk in the cream mixture. Divide the custard among the ramekins; pour enough hot water into the baking dish to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Cover the dish with foil and pierce in several spots.

Bake the custards until softly set, about 30 minutes. (I had to uncover and cook mine for about another 20 minutes.) Remove from the water and let cool for 1 hour. Cover with wax paper and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Before serving, whip the remaining 1 cup cream until soft peaks form; dollop onto each custard and sprinkle with the candied ginger if desired.

This looks great!
Do you have a concentrate (recipe or bought) that you prefer?

I used Third Street Chai concentrate, but I’m pretty sure Tazo would work!

Ooooh. That sounds great! Ben & Jerry’s used to make a Chai Sorbet which was amazing. This sounds great. I think I’ve seen Chai concentrate by Tazo. Is this correct?

I made these for the moms that came to a Valentine’s Day party I hosted for my daughter and her friends. We all loved them. For me, they tasted a little bit more like pumpkin pie than chai though so I am going to play with the spices a little bit next time I make them. Still, they were delicious!!
