Ingredients
Method
1.Preheat oven to 120°C. Arrange six 1 1/2-cup ramekins in large baking dish lined with a cloth.
2.In a medium saucepan, combine cream and vanilla. Place over medium heat and bring to almost boiling point.
3.Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk yolks and sugar together until thick and pale. Gradually pour in hot cream mixture, whisking constantly.
4.Return mixture to clean saucepan. Cook on low heat 10-12 minutes, stirring constantly until thick enough to just coat the back of a wooden spoon (be careful not to overheat or mixture will curdle).
5.Divide custard between ramekins. Pour boiling water into baking dish to come halfway up sides of ramekins. Bake 20-25 minutes until almost set and slightly wobbly in centre. Remove ramekins.
6.Cool completely in fridge. Just before serving, sprinkle custards with an even layer of raw sugar. Using a kitchen blowtorch, drag the flame back and forth over the sugar until caramelised.
If you don’t have a kitchen blowtorch, place chilled custards under a very hot grill for 1 minute.
