Ingredients
- 6 large egg yolks
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups heavy cream
- 1/4 cup turbinado sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 F.
- Add the egg yolks, 1/4 cup sugar, and vanilla extract to a large mixing bowl.
- Whisk until the egg mixture is thick and well-combined. Set aside.
- Add the cream to a medium saucepan.
- Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the cream just comes to a low boil.
- Carefully stream in the cream while whisking it into the egg mixture.
- Divide the egg mixture between the ramekins.
- Place the ramekins in a roasting pan and pour enough hot water to come halfway up the ramekin.
- Carefully put the roasting pan in the oven and bake until the custard is set at the edges and barely jiggly in the center, about 20-30 minutes.
- Carefully remove the ramekins from the water bath and let the ramekins cool to room temperature.
- Chill for at least 1 hour.
- When you're ready to serve, set the ramekins out while you preheat the broiler.
- Divide the ¼ cup turbinado sugar and sprinkle over the top of each ramekin.
- Broil until the sugar melts and caramelizes, about 2 minutes. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn.
Notes
- It's really important to whisk the cream in while adding it to the egg mixture. Otherwise, you can get scrambled eggs.

- If you're having trouble whisking the hot cream in, you can scoop out small amounts of cream and stream it in a little at a time. Granulated sugar can also be used to make the topping.

- A kitchen torch makes it easier to caramelize the sugar, but if you don't have a kitchen torch, broiling also works.

- I used 8 ounce ramekins for these photos. Six ounce ramekins would also work for this recipe. Nutrition values are estimates.
