Description

This maple custard is made with 4 simple ingredients, then baked in the oven for a delicious smooth and creamy dessert with flavors of New England.

Ingredients

4 eggs
3 cups milk
3/4 cup real maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Whisk eggs in a large bowl until lightly beaten. Add milk, maple syrup, and vanilla; gently beat until incorporated. Pour mixture into twelve (1/2-cup) ramekins in a baking dish. Pour enough water into the baking dish to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
3 Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center of a custard comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes. Remove the ramekins from the baking dish and refrigerate until completely chilled, at least 1 hour.
