Dairy, Eggs January 199 1 servings

INGREDIENTS

3 tb Dark rum
1/4 c Water
1 1/4 c Plus 2 tablespoons sugar
2 1/4 c Milk
1/2 c Heavy cream
5 lg Whol eggs
6 lg Egg yolks
3 tb Fresh lime juice; (from about 1 1/2
; limes)
1 tb Freshly grated lime zest; (from about 3 limes)
1/2 ts Rum extract

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 300F.
In a small heavy saucepan stir together rum, water, and 3/4 cup sugar and
bring to a boil over moderate heat. Cook mixture, without stirring, until
sugar is dissolved and begins to turn golden caramel. Immediately divide
caramel among six 1-cup ramekins, tilting them to coat bottoms evenly. (If
caramel begins to thicken before all ramekins are filled, reheat it over
low heat until just pourable.) Let caramel cool.
In a large saucepan scald milk with cream over moderate heat. In a large
heat-proof bowl whisk together whole eggs, yolks, and remaining 1/2 cup
plus 2 tablespoons sugar until mixture is combined well. Add scalded milk
mixture in a slow stream, whisking constantly, and whisk in lime juice,
zest, and rum extract. Strain mixture through a coarse sieve into a
heat-proof pitcher or measuring cup (at least 6-cup capacity).
Arrange ramekins in a baking pan just large enough to hold them and divide
mixture evenly among them. Add enough hot water to baking pan to reach
two-thirds up sides of ramekins. Carefully put a single piece of foil over
all ramekins, tucking it loosely around them, and bake in middle of oven
about 1 hour 10 minutes (custards should appear set when shaken). Remove
ramekins carefully from baking pan and let creams cool. Chill caramel
creams, covered, 6 hours or overnight.
Run a thin knife around sides of caramel creams and gently shake them from
side to side to loosen. Invert a dessert plate over each ramekin and invert
caramel creams onto plates.
Serves 6.
