Ingredients
- 8 Large Egg Yolks
- ¼ cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Heavy Cream
- ¼ cup Granulated Sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325ºF (160°C)

- In a small pot, heat remaining heavy cream to a simmer. Remove from heat.
- Slowly drizzle hot cream mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
- Pour into 4-6 ramekins or custard cups, and arrange in a large pan.
- Carefully add water to the large pan, till about halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
- Bake until custard is set, but wiggles in the middle – about 45-50 minutes.
- Remove from oven, allow to cool to room temperature, and then chill for at least 2 hours.
- When ready to serve, sprinkle 2-3 teaspoon sugar evenly over each custard. Use a small, hand held kitchen torch to melt sugar.
