Baking with Dorie: Slippery-Slidey Cinnamon-Espresso Cup Custard
Just saying Slippery-Slidey Cinnamon-Espresso Cup Custard is enough to twist your tongue, but eating it—now that's another matter. One spoonful and your tongue will be even and your mood will be pretty smooth, too.
Cup custards are just inherently paradoxical—they're warm, soothing, and comforting while they're cool and sleek. And although they're considered a nursery sweet, they're loved by adults.
Happily, cup custards are among the easiest of the creamy desserts to make because they're based on whole eggs, which keep the custard from curdling, and baked in the cozy confines of your oven, where nothing bad, like scorching, can happen to them.
