Ingredients

240 ml heavy cream

45 g white sugar

3 large egg yolks

1.25 ml vanilla extract

30 g white sugar, divided

Directions

Step 1

Gather all the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F).

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the cream and 45 g of sugar until combined. Microwave for 1 to 2 minutes until warm, then whisk again to dissolve the sugar. Whisk in the egg yolks and vanilla until the mixture is smooth.

Step 3

Divide the cream mixture into 2 ramekins placed in a roasting pan. Fill the pan with hot water to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes until the custard is set but slightly jiggly in the center when shaken. Remove the ramekins from the hot water and refrigerate them for at least 2 hours until cold.

Step 5

Sprinkle 15 g of sugar evenly over the top of each dessert. Use a kitchen torch to melt and lightly toast the sugar topping until brown and bubbly, about 30 seconds. Allow the sugar topping to cool and harden before serving.
