Chilled Espresso Custard (Phase 1)

Description
Complement your meal with coffee at its best – a simply lovely baked custard of rich-tasting espresso.

Makes 4 servings

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups 1% milk
2 eggs, beaten
3 tablespoons sugar substitute (like Splenda)
2 teaspoons espresso powder or instant decaffeinated coffee
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Ground cinnamon, for garnish
Lemon twists, for garnish

Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, sugar substitute, espresso powder or coffee, and vanilla extract until well-blended. Pour into four 6-ounce custard cups or ramekins and place in a 10" skillet.

Fill the skillet with water to 1/2" from the tops of the custard cups. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove the cups from the skillet, cover with plastic wrap touching the surface of the pudding, and refrigerate for 3 hours, or until chilled. Garnish with the cinnamon and lemon twists.
