Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
-
In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar over medium heat until it starts to steam.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, remaining 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and vanilla extract.
-
Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly.
-
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pouring jug.
-
Divide the mixture evenly among four ramekins.
-
Place the ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with hot water halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
-
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
-
Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature.
-
Once cooled, refrigerate the ramekins for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
-
Before serving, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar evenly over the top of each custard.
-
Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it forms a golden brown crust.
-
Let the creme brulee sit for a few minutes to allow the sugar to harden.
-
Serve and enjoy!
