Ingredients
- 2 cups Low-fat milk
- 4 large Egg yolks
- 6 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 4 teaspoons Granulated sugar (topping)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, heat the low-fat milk over medium-low heat until it is warm but not boiling. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, 6 tablespoons of granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is pale and creamy.
Step 4
Slowly pour the warmed milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to avoid cooking the eggs. Mix until well combined.
Step 5
Strain the custard mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to ensure a smooth texture.
Step 6
Divide the mixture evenly among 4 oven-safe ramekins.
Step 7
Place the ramekins in a large baking dish. Carefully pour hot water into the baking dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins (this creates a water bath to prevent the custard from cracking).
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still have a slight jiggle when gently shaken.
Step 9
Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully chilled.
Step 10
Just before serving, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar evenly over the surface of each custard. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it forms a crispy golden-brown crust. Alternatively, you can place the ramekins under a broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
Step 11
Allow the caramelized crust to cool for about a minute before serving. Serve immediately and enjoy!
