dessert of choice if I have any room left to eat dessert. This is the
easiest recipe I have found.
1 quart Heavy Cream
1 vanilla bean, split and scraped
1/2 cup Sugar
6 large egg yolks
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
Place the cream, vanilla bean and its pulp into a medium saucepan and
bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, cover and allow to sit for 15
minutes. Remove the vanilla bean.
In a medium bowl, whisk together sugar and the egg yolks until well
blended and it just starts to look lighter yellow. Add about 1/2 cup
of cream to the egg mixture, stirring quickly to avoid scrambled eggs.
Then add the egg mixture to the rest of the cream, and cook on
medium/low until the mixture thickens.
Place in ramekins, and bake for 40-50 minutes in a water bath.
Cool for 3-4 hours. Then sprinkle sugar on each dish to cover the top
in a thin layer. Torch until browned. Cool 5-10 minutes and then
serve.
Could garnish with many things such as a caramel or berry sauce, or fresh fruit.
