Course Dessert
Cuisine French
Prep Time 35 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Servings 6 servings

Equipment

  • 6 5-ounce ramekins (or coffee cups / jars )

Ingredients

For the Custard

  • 2 cups heavy cream 35% fat
  • 5 egg yolks 80 grams
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt

For the Caramel topping

  • 6 tablespoons caster sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325 °F (160 °C) and set a pot with water over medium heat (for the water bath).
  • separate the egg whites, from the egg yolks carefully. Discard the egg whites
  • Add the egg yolks, the sugar, the vanilla extract and the salt to a large bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Heat the cream until almost boiling and slowly add it to the egg yolk mixture whisking continuously until incorporated.
  • Pour the mixture into the ramekins filling them half way, place them inside a baking pan and fill the baking pan with boiling water about 1 ¾ inches deep (this is the water bath)
  • Bake in the middle rack of the oven for 30-35 minutes or until the surface of the cream is set and the middle is still jiggly.
  • Wait until the cream is cool, cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge
  • Just before serving, sprinkle each ramekin with 1 tablespoon sugar and burn it with a torch. We will use the broil setting on the ovens instead of a torch.

Notes

  • The amount of sugar is enough to give the cream a nice taste without being overly sweet. If you like things sweeter, you can add a couple more tablespoons.
  • Add the hot cream to the yolk mixture gradually, otherwise you risk cooking the yolks.
  • Cooking time can vary depending on the size of the ramekins.
