Hazel - Walnut Honey Custard is a classic dessert that combines the flavors of nuts and honey with a creamy custard texture. This recipe is easy to make and perfect for any occasion. The combination of walnuts and hazelnuts provides a rich and nutty flavor that pairs well with the sweetness of honey. The custard is made with whole milk, eggs, and a hint of nutmeg and allspice that adds a warming dimension to the dish. This dessert is traditionally served chilled and garnished with chopped nuts and a drizzle of honey. It is great for a dinner party or a family gathering. The recipe can be easily doubled or halved depending on the number of guests.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
2.Place the walnuts and hazelnuts in a food processor and chop them into small pieces.
3.In a medium saucepan, heat the milk, nutmeg, allspice, peppercorn, honey, and salt over medium heat until just boiling. Remove from the heat and let it cool.
4.In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg white, and Frangelico or Amaretto. Slowly add the cooled milk mixture and whisk until well combined.
5.Divide the nut mixture between 6 (6-ounce) ramekins. Pour the custard mixture over the nuts.
6.Arrange the ramekins in a baking dish with high sides. Fill the dish with hot water so it comes up 1 inch on the sides of the ramekins.
