Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup Granulated sugar
- 4 Egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and egg yolks until the mixture is pale and creamy.
Step 4
Slowly pour the warm cream into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to avoid curdling. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any lumps.
Step 5
Divide the custard mixture evenly among four 6-ounce ramekins. Place the ramekins in a large baking dish and fill the dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the custards are set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Step 7
Carefully remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight, to fully set.
Step 8
When ready to serve, evenly sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon of brown sugar over the top of each custard. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it forms a crisp, golden-brown crust. If you don’t have a torch, you can place the ramekins under the broiler for a few minutes, watching closely to ensure the sugar doesn’t burn.
Step 9
Allow the caramelized topping to cool for 1-2 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Clinkerdagger’s Burnt Creme!
