Cappucino Crème Brulee

2 cups whipping cream
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
5 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg         
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 tablespoons golden brown sugar

Fill steamer with water to fill line. Preheat steamer to “steam” setting.

Arrange 6 3/4 cup ramekins in solid steamer pan.

Combine cream, sugar and espresso powder in heavy saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat.

Whisk egg yolks, cinnamon, nutmeg in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in cream mixture, then vanilla. Divide custards among ramekins.

Steam until custards are softly set, about 30 minutes. Remove custards from steamer and chill until cold, at least 3 hours.

Preheat broiler on “Broil 1”. Arrange custards on a baking sheet. Press 1/2 tablespoon of sugar through strainer onto each custard. Broil until the sugar bubbles and caramelizes, about 2 minutes. Serve.
