Method
1.Preheat oven to moderately slow, 160°C. Place 6 ramekins in a baking dish.
2.In a medium heat-resistant bowl, whisk together eggs, yolks and caster sugar.
3.In a small saucepan, bring combined cream, milk and paste to the boil. Gradually whisk hot cream mixture into egg mixture.
4. Place bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Cook, stirring, for 8-10 minutes until mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
5.Pour into dishes. Add enough boiling water to baking dish to come halfway up sides of ramekins. Bake for 20-25 minutes until custards are just set. Remove from water. Cool to room temperature. Cover and chill for 3 hours or overnight.
6.Preheat grill to very hot. Place custards in a shallow flameproof dish filled with ice cubes and a little water. Sprinkle top of each custard with 1 teaspoon brown sugar, spreading evenly over surface. Grill for 1-2 minutes until sugar has caramelised. Cool slightly and serve.
