Recipe

Mix egg yolks and sugar, then combine with warmed cream and vanilla extract.
Strain the cream mixture into dishes, place in a water bath, and bake at 160–180°C for 30–40 minutes.
Chill in the refrigerator, then sprinkle sugar evenly on top and torch to create a crispy caramel crust.

Cooking tips

Pouring hot cream all at once can cause the yolks to curdle, so be sure to add it gradually while stirring.
Oven temperatures vary, so check for doneness by gently shaking the dish—the custard should feel firm and not slosh like liquid.
If the sugar layer is too thick, it will be hard to crack; if too thin, the cream may burn. Aim for a layer that just covers the surface.
When using a torch, maintain a proper distance from the flame and move it smoothly until the sugar turns evenly brown.
