Ingredients 

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 5 egg yolks
  • ½ cup granulated sugar plus extra for caramelizing

Instructions 

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream and vanilla extract over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and ½ cup of sugar until the mixture is pale and thick.
  4. Slowly pour the hot cream into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to avoid cooking the eggs.
  5. Pour the mixture into ramekins and place them in a baking dish. Fill the dish with hot water halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
  6. Bake for 40 minutes or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  8. Before serving, sprinkle a thin layer of sugar on top of each custard and use a blowtorch to caramelize the sugar until golden brown.
