Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Step 2
Mix the milk, sugar, egg yolks, cream, bourbon and brandy together until well blended but not frothy. Strain through a fine sieve and season with nutmeg.
- Step 3
Pour the custard into eight four-ounce ramekins.
- Step 4
Place a towel in the bottom of a baking pan large enough to hold all the ramekins. Put the ramekins in the pan on top of the towel; the towel keeps them from sliding around. Pour in enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Cover with a sheet of aluminum foil.
- Step 5
Bake 20 to 25 minutes, until the custard is firm. Allow to cool to room temperature, then chill before serving.

took twice as long to cook as recipe says, but they were easy to make and super rich, slightly boozy, and delicious
There should be a note to take it out before it’s firm because if you leave it in too long it curdles.
I had to bake my custards for nearly 25 minutes more to get them to set. BUT worth it...they are the creamiest boozy clouds of deliciousness...highly recommended...though what to do with 10 egg whites!?
@Regina Angel food cake!
