Happy Sunday!

I know fall officially started a little over a week ago, but…. I don’t think it feels like fall until it hits October. That’s when I’m finally ready for pumpkin everything. In other words, just one more day.

Have you ever had pots de creme before? They are sooo delicious and soooo additive. One spoonful of pots de creme and I legitly cannot stop eating. They’re creamy and custardy. Each bite is filled with a hint of earl grey tea. And it’s super easy to make. The difficult part is waiting for it to bake, waiting for it to cool, and then waiting for it to chill. All that waiting. I’m kinda impatient when it comes to food.

These pots de creme are perfect for a weekday pick me up. Or you can garnish them to serve to family and friends at a get together.

In a small pot, pour in the heavy cream, whole milk, and add 2 bags of earl grey tea over medium heat. Let it simmer for a few minutes. Turn the heat off and let the tea steep for 30 minutes to an hour.

Preheat the oven to 325F. Place four 6 ounce ramekins on a large shallow baking pan.

Reheat the earl grey cream mixture and then remove from heat. Pour the earl grey cream through a fine sieve into a medium sized bowl.

In a mixing bowl,whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Slowly pour half of earl grey cream mixture into the mixing bowl, whisking well so that eggs don’t cook. Pour the rest of the earl grey cream into the mixing bowl, and continue to whisk until smooth and well combined.

Pour the earl grey mixture into each of the ramekins evenly. Add boiling water to the pan until they cover about halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Cover the pan with foil, and cut slits into the top so that air can escape. Bake for about 25-30 minutes until the custard is set but is still jiggly in the center.
