Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).

  2. Heat the Cream: In a saucepan, heat the cream and vanilla bean (or vanilla extract) over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and let sit for 10 minutes. If using a vanilla bean, remove it now.

  3. Prepare the Custard: In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, 1/2 cup sugar, and salt until pale and thick. Slowly add the warm cream to the egg mixture, whisking constantly until combined.

  4. Bake the Custard: Pour the custard mixture into 4-6 ramekins. Place the ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with hot water halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the custards are set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

  5. Chill the Custard: Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.

  6. Caramelize the Sugar: Just before serving, sprinkle a thin, even layer of granulated sugar over each custard. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it is golden and crisp.

  7. Serve: Let the sugar cool and harden for a minute before serving.
