Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
-
In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream, half of the sugar, and vanilla extract over medium heat until it starts to simmer.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks and the remaining sugar until well combined.
-
Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly.
-
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a measuring cup.
-
Divide the mixture evenly among four ramekins.
-
Place the ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with enough hot water to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
-
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the custard is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
-
Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature.
-
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill and set.
-
Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar evenly over the top of each custard.
-
Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until golden and bubbly.
-
Let the caramelized sugar harden for a few minutes before serving.
