Ingredients

  • 75g caster sugar
  • 200g rhubarb , cut into 2cm pieces
  • 400ml single cream
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 5 tbsp demerara sugar

Recipe tips / Prepare ahead

Preheat the oven to 150°c/Gas Mark 2.

Method

Step 1

Toss the rhubarb with 25g of the caster sugar and then divide between four ramekins.

Step 2

Heat the cream gently until almost boiling then remove from the heat.

Step 3

While the cream is cooking beat the egg yolks and remaining caster sugar together. Pour the hot cream over the sugar and egg yolks and mix well.

Step 4

Divide the cream mixture between the ramekins. Place the ramekins in a roasting tin and add enough hot water to come about halfway up their sides, so creating a bain-marie. Transfer carefully to the oven and cook for 40 minutes until just set.

Step 5

Remove from the oven and leave to cool.

Step 6

Just before you are ready to serve, sprinkle the Demerara sugar over the top of each ramekin and place under a hot preheated grill to melt the sugar, being careful not to burn it. Alternatively use a cook’s blow torch. Allow the melted sugar to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
