by vanessa_g

Prep time: 0:25 Overall time: 1 day

Servings: 4 servings

INGREDIENTS

1-1/2 qt. heavy cream
1/2 vanilla bean
8 oz. sugar
10 oz. egg yolks, beaten
Sugar, for crust

INSTRUCTIONS

Combine cream, vanilla bean and half of the sugar in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Mix together remaining sugar and egg yolks. Temper the egg mixture into the milk mixture; strain through a fine sieve.

Fill 4 ramekins with the mixture, leaving enough room on top for the sugar crust. Place the ramekins in a water bath. Bake at 350°F until barely set, about 45 minutes. Cool ramekins in water bath. Remove ramekins and refrigerate overnight.

Set the ramekins in a pan filled with ice. Cover the custard surface with sugar and carmelize under the broiler. Serve immediately.
