    Title: Coffee Pots de Creme
    Categories: Desserts, Dairy, Booze, Nuts
    Yield: 8 Servings

    600 ml Thickened cream (2 cartons)
    1/2 c Roasted coffee beans
    6 Egg yolks
    1/4 c Castor sugar
    2 ts Tia Maria or Kahlua

    MMMMM--------------------------PRALINE-------------------------------
    2 tb Slivered almonds
    1/4 c Sugar
    1 tb Water

    Pour cream into saucepan, bring to the boil, add coffee
    beans, reduce heat. Simmer gently 3 minutes, remove from
    heat, stand for 30 minutes, strain.

    Whisk egg yolks, sugar and Tia Maria in a bowl, whisk in
    coffee-flavoured cream. Pour mixture into individual
    ovenproof dishes (1/3 cup capacity).

    Place dishes into a lamington pan** Pour enough hot
    water into the pan to come half way up the side of the
    dishes. Cover with foil or lids, bake in slow oven for
    about 20 minutes or until mixture is just set.

    Cool, refrigerate before serving.

    PRALINE: Place almonds into a saucepan, stir constantly
    over heat until lightly browned, spread evenly onto a
    lightly greased oven tray. Combine sugar and water in
    same pan, stir constantly over heat without boiling
    until sugar is dissolved. Boil rapidly without stirring
    until mixture turns golden brown. Remove from heat,
    allow bubbles to subside, pour over almonds, chop
    roughly when set.

    Decorate pots de creme with extra whipped cream and
    praline.

    (** A lamington dish is a wide shallow metal dish
    for baking)
