Total Time: 50 mins Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 2 cups old fashioned oats
• 2 cups whole milk
• 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup whipping cream
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• freshly grated nutmeg

Recipe

• 1 butter four 1-cup ramekins.
• 2 toast the oats in a saucepan over medium heat until they deepen just slightly in color and become fragrant, 5 minutes or so.
• 3 pour in 1 cup water, then add milk, brown sugar, vanilla, ginger, and salt.
• 4 bring to a boil, cover, and decrease heat to a bare simmer, and cook 5 minutes, until soft and very thick.
• 5 divide the mixture equally among the ramekins; cover them with a single piece of foil; let them sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, for the pudding to firm in the ramekins.
• 6 while the oatmeal molds set, make the sauce: combine whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla in a saucepan; cook over medium heat until reduced to about ¾ cup/.
• 7 run a knife around the inside of the first ramekin; turn upside down over a small plate and give it a shake to release the pudding.
• 8 repeat with the remaining ramekins; spoon the warm sauce over each; grate a bit of nutmeg over the tops and serve.
