Ingredients

1 cup milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
3 large eggs
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon powdered instant coffee
2 teaspoons Irish cream liqueur

Steps:

Place milk and cream in a 4-cup measure. Cook, uncovered, at 100 percent power in a high-power oven with a carousel for 2 minutes.
While milk is cooking, whisk together eggs and sugar in a medium bowl. Combine cocoa and coffee in a small bowl.
Remove milk from oven and pour into egg mixture, whisking constantly. Whisk in Irish Cream.
Stir a scant tablespoon of the custard mixture into the cocoa and coffee to form a smooth paste. Scrape the cocoa mixture back into the custard and whisk until well combined.
Pour into 1/2-cup ramekins and skim any foam from the top of each. Place cups, evenly spaced, around the carousel. Cook, uncovered, at 50 percent power for 6 minutes. Custard will still be partly liquid.
Remove from oven. Let stand, covered with a towel, for 15 minutes. Refrigerate until firm and well chilled.
