Equipment

  • kitchen torch
  • ramekins

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Heavy Cream
  • 1 whole Vanilla Bean
  • 5 large Egg Yolks
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/8 tsp Salt
  • 4 tbsp Granulated Sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 325F. Place four 6-ounce ramekins in a large baking dish.
  • Pour the heavy cream into a saucepan. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise, scrape the seeds into the cream, and drop the pod in as well. Heat over medium until it just begins to simmer, then remove from heat and let steep for 15 minutes. Discard the pod.
  • In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and salt until pale and slightly thickened.
  • Slowly pour the warm cream into the egg mixture while whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
  • Divide the custard mixture evenly among the ramekins. Pour hot water into the baking dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes until the edges are set but the centers still jiggle slightly. Carefully remove the ramekins and chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
  • Before serving, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar evenly over each custard and melt with a kitchen torch until a dark amber sugar crust forms.
