Got a little coffee left over in the pot? Here's a good use for it - especially yummy topped with some fresh whipped cream.

That sounds good. I don't like coffee as a beverage, but I love coffee ice cream, frosting, etc.
I'm definitely going to try this one! Looks good!
Coffee Custard
Hi Kevin, I am also not a coffee drinker but love coffee flavor so I whipped up a batch of your coffee custard last night.
It is certainly very easy to make, only taking a few minutes to mix up. I substituted Splenda for 1/2 of the sugar and used Smart-Balance for the butter to slightly lower the calories and make it a little healthier.
Using very hot water from the Kitchenaid Instant-Hot and placing it in a non-preheated Thermador Thermatronic oven I used medium microwave power for ten minutes to get it cooking and it was beautifully cooked in just 30 minutes.
Thanks for a great idea for a quick desert and way to use up the leftover mornings coffee.

John - glad you gave it a try with your healthier version! It really is pretty easy to make - and sounds like the Thermatronic did a great job. Glad you like the recipe!
Oooooooooooh, this looks great! I love coffee and coffee-flavored dessert items. Thanks for another winner, Kevin.
Another great recipe! Baking a custard in Mary's bath is a wonderful easy way of doing it. Thanks!
John,
Splenda and Smart Balance may be lighter products, but they are both far from healthy. For Splenda there is a much better alternative called Stevia. But make sure you get the pure stuff without maltodextrin. When you only butter cups for custard, there is no sense in using something other than butter anyway. The best butter is made from milk from cows that are fed only grass, less bad cholesterol in there and it tastes even better!
Bon appetit!

Tried this last night, and it was incredible!!! Thank you so much for posting this!
It turned out quite nicely, but I used a Donut Shoppe Keurig K-cup, which amounted to just barely more than 1 cup, and I only had 2 percent milk. Next time I'm going to brew some real coffee and get whole milk, and I'm sure it will be even more delicious.

Thanks so much for getting me hooked on this
Kevin, once again a recipe to redo and to get hooked on to.
This is yummy and I regret to not having left more coffee over.
And finally (thanks to this video) I am well informed about the differences between custard, German "Pudding" and Dutch "Vla" (even back then at school I got puzzled why the Brits would call their Blutwurst or Schwarzwurst "pudding" or "blackpudding" (sort of a hefty diet, nothing for the faint hearted = sausage made of cooked blood or "Innereien" = liver, kidneys, lungs etc.), but it has nothing to do with our sweet German "Pudding" (which is basically custard).
From your video I have learned:
1. Custard: A egg/sugar/milk blend without starch to be baked in the oven to get stiff/creamy.
2. German Pudding: Same thing with some starch in it: Hot blending the stuff in a pot (shortly boiling it to start the starch do its work) then waiting for it to cool down in a dish/ in serving dishes.
3. Dutch "Vla": Same as 2. but lesser amount of starch, you must still be able to pour it into cups like drinking yogurt. Comes ready-made in milk cartons over there today. Most famous: "hopjesvla" (I could literally DIE for it).
Thanks for making this live on video, this question has been puzzling me for more than a decade ;-)
(...listen, my Krups T8 is making another pot of 8 cups here ;-))) and NONE will be drunk!)

I tried this..
and it is delicious!
Thinking now of trying it with a flavored coffee. Might be
some very tasty variations on this simple recipe.

People might get the idea that Dutch "vla" is thin is drinking yoghurt, but that is not the case. On this Wikipedia page there is a picture of "chocoladevla" with whipped cream on top. It shows quite well how thick it is.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vla
Hopjesvla was very popular sometime, but the most popular vla is still vanilla with chocolate being second. Raspberry was very popular for a while too, about the same time as hopjesvla. Nowadays more complicated forms of vla have been introduced, but they keep changing. "Vanillevla" and "chocoladevla" are things from my youth and have made an ever lasting impression. BTW, the best tasting vanillevla is from "Boerenland". Yummie!

Your range
Hi Kevin,
A few years ago I bought my 1953 Frigidaire Thrifty 30 on a Detroit Craigstlist. I turned to your utube channel to show my husband how to transport her because you had that very model on your show. I can't tell from this video because it doesn't show up very well but is the stove in this video that Thrifty 30"? It doesn't seem like it because I think I see thinner coils and not the radiant tubes.
Anyways, I just wanted to say, thanks for helping me get my 1st vintage stove into my house safely. I have loved my little "Fanny" so much. She has served me so well. But next week she will be moving into the basement for a well deserved retirement vacation. Another vintage beauty will be doing the heavy lifting upstairs from now on. Where in Detroit are you? I grew up in Livonia and now live in Dundee.

Kevin has a large collection of ranges and rotates them out yearly at the cabin. Curious to see what he'll come up with next spring.

Trying this tonight
Made half a batch 'real' and half the batch with honey and almond milk in place of the sugar and milk, because my husband is a giant pain in the--I mean, he's on the Paleo diet. Just took them put of the oven and they look good. Can't wait until they cool so I can try them!

The result....
Yum!
The "original recipe" had a very delicate flavor, whereas the almond milk imparted a somewhat heartier flavor, for lack of a better description, in that batch.

Glad many of you liked the recipe!
Hans - you could make a chocolate version since you're not into the taste of coffee
Joe - I've never had vla but it sounds interesting...I had German pudding many years ago and loved it! Sounds like these are all variations on the same theme. Hope you put your extra coffee to good use! Thanks so much!
Lisa - I have a Frigidaire Thrifty 30 and was using that stove a while back. The stove I'm currently using at the cottage kitchen is a 1955 Crosley. I try to put a different stove in the kitchen each year. Glad to hear you got your stove moved into its new home safely - those are wonderful ranges!!
