Preparation

Step 1
Place milk and cream in a 4-cup measure. Cook, uncovered, at 100 percent power in a high-power oven with a carousel for 2 minutes.
Step 2
While milk is cooking, whisk together eggs and sugar in a medium bowl. Combine cocoa and coffee in a small bowl.
Step 3
Remove milk from oven and pour into egg mixture, whisking constantly. Whisk in Irish Cream.
Step 4
Stir a scant tablespoon of the custard mixture into the cocoa and coffee to form a smooth paste. Scrape the cocoa mixture back into the custard and whisk until well combined.
Step 5
Pour into ½-cup ramekins and skim any foam from the top of each. Place cups, evenly spaced, around the carousel. Cook, uncovered, at 50 percent power for 6 minutes. Custard will still be partly liquid.
Step 6
Remove from oven. Let stand, covered with a towel, for 15 minutes. Refrigerate until firm and well chilled.
