Serves:
Ingredients
- 4 egg yolks
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons brown sugar (for caramelizing the top)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
-
In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until well combined.
-
In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just starts to simmer.
-
Slowly pour the hot cream into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly.
-
Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Divide the mixture evenly among four ramekins.
-
Place the ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with enough hot water to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
-
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.
-
Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature.
-
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
-
Just before serving, sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of brown sugar evenly over the top of each custard.
-
Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it forms a crispy crust.
-
Serve immediately and enjoy!
