Directions
-
Quarter the chile lengthwise and remove the seeds, veins, and any remnants of stem.
-
Chop the chile into 1/4-inch pieces.
-
Place the chopped chile in a small saucepan and add water and 1 cup of the sugar.
-
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
-
Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from the heat and let stand for at least 4 hours to infuse.
-
Strain the chile syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing on the solids to extract all liquid. Discard solids.
-
In a medium-size heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine milk, heavy cream, and the remaining 3/4 cup sugar.
-
Heat the dairy mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it is hot but not boiling.
-
Whisk the egg yolks in a separate bowl until pale and slightly thickened.
-
Slowly pour the hot dairy mixture into the egg yolks while whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
-
Pour the combined mixture back into the saucepan and stir in the prepared chile syrup.
-
Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula, until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon (about 170-175ðF). Do not boil.
-
Remove from heat and stir in the framboise or vanilla extract.
-
Pour the custard into ramekins or serving dishes.
-
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until set before serving.
