Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 5 large egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Heat the heavy cream and vanilla extract in a saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to boil.
  3. Whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar in a bowl until pale and fluffy.
  4. Combine the hot cream into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
  5. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into the ramekins.
  6. Place the filled ramekins in a baking dish and fill with hot water halfway up the sides.
  7. Bake for 30-40 minutes until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
  8. Cool the ramekins before refrigerating for at least 2 hours.
  9. Caramelize the tops with a thin layer of brown sugar using a kitchen torch.

Notes

For the best results, use good quality vanilla extract and don’t rush the caramelizing step.
