An enchanting classic French dessert with a creamy custard base and a crackly caramelized sugar topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 5 large egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons 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 hot, but do not boil.
  3. Whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar in a separate bowl until pale and smooth.
  4. Combine the hot cream with the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent scrambling.
  5. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a large measuring cup.
  6. Distribute the custard into ramekins.
  7. Prepare a water bath by placing the ramekins in a baking dish and filling it with hot water until halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes until set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  9. Cool the ramekins at room temperature and then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  10. Caramelize a thin layer of brown sugar on top of each custard using a kitchen torch.
  11. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

For best results, caramelize the sugar just before serving. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
