Whether couples prepare it together or surprise their signifi cant others, the
following recipe for “Coff ee Crisp” from Bob Blumer’s “Surreal Gourmet
Bites” (Chronicle Books) can make for the perfect ending to a Valentine’s
Day date night.

Where good friends &
great food come together!
Preheat the oven to 300 F.
In a medium bowl, whisk egg yolks and 6 tablespoons of the sugar for 1
minute, or until smooth and pale yellow in color. Reserve.
In a second medium bowl, add espresso granules and 1⁄4 cup of the cream.
Whisk until smooth, then add remaining cream and vanilla, and whisk until
well blended.
Very gently, fold espresso cream mixture into egg yolks.
Use a ladle to pour custard mixture into espresso cups, fi lling them three-
fourths of the way to the top.
Place cups in a baking dish or roasting pan and transfer to oven. Fill a pitcher
with warm tap water. Before closing oven door, pour water into pan (but not
into the cups themselves!) until it reaches halfway up the sides of the cups.
Bake for 40 minutes, or until the custards jiggle just slightly when you shake
the pan. Remove pan from oven and leave out on counter, allowing the residual heat of the water to
fi nish the cooking process.
When custards have fully solidifi ed, refrigerate for 2 hours
Just before serving,
sprinkle 1⁄2 teaspoon
of sugar evenly overtop
each custard. Use a
small blowtorch to
caramelize the sugar.
