Decadent and delicious, these silky custards are the perfect make-ahead dessert and you don't have to temper any hot liquids! A little extra time on the front end, these individual desserts are the perfect punctuation to your next dinner party. Try using decaf espresso to lessen the effects for sensitive guests. You won't hear anything but raves over the creamy richness of each bite. Just before serving, top each with a dollop of light whipped topping and a chocolate-covered espresso bean or simply sprinkle with some toasted sliced almonds for a hint of crunch.
