I was halving this recipe which made things a little tricky as it called for 7 egg yolks and only 3/4 cup sugar, divided. So I ended up trying to make caramel from a 1/4 cup of sugar to which coarsely ground coffee beans and cardamon pods were added. Probably a bit easier to do with a full recipe I'm thinking.

Since I didn't cut the cooking time by enough, my result was more pudding than pot ... BUT the flavour was pretty darned good although -- and I never say this -- it could have been a little bit sweeter.

Boulud suggests pairing this with a dark sweet sherry, which I did, and he was spot on about that.

I think this would be an excellent dessert following a Spanish or Middle Eastern main dish.
