Ingredients

  • 300ml double cream
  • 100g caster sugar
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Recipe tips / Prepare ahead

You will need a chef's blowtorch to create the caramelised topping for this recipe.

Method

Step 1

Place the cream and vanilla in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat and pour into a jug.

Step 2

Whip together the egg yolks and sugar.

Step 3

Slowly pour the cream mixture into the egg mixture. You should pour slowly to make sure you don't scramble the egg.

Step 4

Then pour the mixture into ramekins and place in a roasting dish. Pour hot water into the roasting dish (acting as a bain marie). Don't allow the water to be any higher than a 1/3 of the depth of the roasting dish.

Step 5

Cook at 160C for approximately 30 minutes in the middle of the oven or until there's a slight wobble. The cooling down process will finish off the cooking.

Step 6

Take the ramekins out of the ban marie, allow to cool. Place in the fridge for an hour then dust with caster sugar and use a chef's blowtorch to caramelise the top and serve.
