4 cups Heavy Cream
1 Whole Vanilla Bean..or 1 Tbsp Vanilla Extract..or 1 Tbsp Vanilla Paste
10 Whole egg yolks
3/4 cups sugar
6 Tbsp Superfine Sugar
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Pour the cream into the saucepan. Add vanilla (whichever product you're using) and simmer over medium-low heat.
- Whip egg yolks with the sugar until pale yellow and thick.
- Strain cream using a fine mesh strainer.
- Whip yolks while you very slowly drizzle in 1 cup of warm cream. Go slowly so as not to cook the eggs!
- Once the first cup is added, you can add the rest of the cream slowly.
- Place ramekins onto a rimmed baking sheet.
- Pour custard mixture into ramekins.
- Pour water in bottom of baking sheet until it comes halfway up the ramekins.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until just set. Do not allow to get brown.
- Cool ramekins on countertop, then chill for at least 2-3 hours, covered in plastic wrap.
- To serve, sprinkle 1 tablespoon over each ramekin of custard. Use a kitchen torch to quickly (but carefully) brown the sugar. There should be a thin, crisp surface of burned sugar on the top.
- Serve immediately!
