Notes
Make this salted maple pot de creme your own
- I used all cream, but you can probably get away with using part whole milk or half and half.
- Use a little bit of maple extract if you want to boost the maple flavor.
- Whipped cream is very versatile and can be flavored in so many ways. If you don't want to use Bourbon you can use any other liqueur, maple extract, vanilla, nutmeg, or whatever you like.
