    1 tbsp (15 mL) white peppercorns
    5 cloves
    1 star anise
    2 cups (500 mL) whipping cream
    5 egg yolks
    1/3 cup (75 mL) granulated sugar
    Rhubarb Cherry Compote

Preparation:

In small dry saucepan, toast peppercorns, cloves and star anise over medium heat, stirring often, until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Pour in cream and bring to simmer; cover and set aside to steep for 10 minutes.

In bowl, whisk egg yolks with sugar; gradually whisk in cream mixture. Strain through fine sieve into large glass measure; skim off any foam. Divide among six 6-oz (175 mL) ramekins or custard cups. Place in large shallow pan; pour enough boiling water into pan to come halfway up sides of ramekins.

Bake in 325°F (160°C) oven until edges are set but centres still jiggle and knife inserted in centres comes out creamy, about 35 minutes. Remove from water; let cool on racks. Cover and refrigerate until chilled and set, about 2 hours. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 2 days.)

Serve with Rhubarb Cherry Compote.
