Ingredients

Ingredients

• 6 large eggs 3 cups whole milk 1/2 vanilla bean, seeds scraped 1/2 cup sugar 1 envelope unflavored gelatin (about 2 1/4 teaspoons) 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

Using a paring knife, score eggshells two-thirds of the way up, and carefully crack. Separate egg whites and yolks. Transfer 5 egg yolks to a bowl; reserve egg whites and remaining yolk for another use. Bring a small pan of water to a boil. Add eggshells, and boil 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove shells, and drain. Scrape out membrane, and discard. Set eggshells aside in an egg carton.

Put milk, vanilla bean and seeds, and sugar into a medium saucepan; sprinkle with gelatin. Let stand until softened, about 3 minutes. Cook over low heat, stirring until sugar and gelatin are dissolved, about 2 minutes.

Whisk salt with egg yolks. Slowly whisk in hot milk mixture until combined, and then pour back into saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until custard is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 3 minutes. Remove vanilla bean. Pour custard through a sieve into a pitcher; discard solids.

Pour 2 tablespoons custard into each eggshell, and divide remaining custard among six 6-ounce ramekins (alternatively, divide all custard among eight 6-ounce ramekins). Refrigerate until set, about 4 hours.

  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/29/2013   I was wondering how far ahead of serving you could make this?  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/06/2009   As long as you used actual food dye it would be. The food dye may bleed into the food inside but it would be completely food safe.  
  
  Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       04/02/2009   I'd like to try a variation and dye the egg shells. Is this food safe?
