Main Ingredients

2 cups heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
5 egg yolks
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tbsp sugar (for caramelizing)

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream and vanilla extract until just simmering.
In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks and granulated sugar until pale and thick.
Slowly pour the hot cream into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
Strain the mixture and pour into ramekins.
Place ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with hot water halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, until set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Before serving, sprinkle sugar on top and caramelize with a blowtorch.

Notes:

Make sure to caramelize the sugar just before serving for the best texture.
