Ingredients 

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups Heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 5 Egg yolks
  • ½ cup Granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoon Brown sugar for topping

Instructions 

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream and vanilla extract until just simmering. Remove from heat.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated 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 large measuring cup or bowl.
  6. Divide the mixture among the ramekins.
  7. Place the ramekins in a baking dish and pour hot water into the dish to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the custards are set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  9. Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  10. Before serving, sprinkle the tops with brown sugar and caramelize with a blow torch until golden and crispy.
