Ingredients 

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 whole vanilla bean split and scraped
  • 5 large egg yolks
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar for caramelizing

Instructions 

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream and vanilla bean until just boiling. Remove from heat and let it sit for a few minutes.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and ½ cup of sugar until pale and thick.
  4. Slowly pour the hot cream into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
  5. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a clean bowl.
  6. Divide the mixture among the ramekins.
  7. Place the ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with hot water halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  10. Before serving, sprinkle the remaining sugar evenly over the tops of the custards and caramelize with a blowtorch until golden brown.
