Serving Size: 6
Cooking Time: 385 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 Cups heavy cream
- 0.33 Cups white sugar
- 6 Large egg yolks, whisked
- 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 Tablespoons Irish cream liqueur
- 1 Pinch superfine sugar, to taste
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Place 6 ramekins on a towel set in a roasting pan at least 3 inches deep.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, stir together the heavy cream and white sugar. Cook until very hot, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, vanilla extract, and Irish cream liqueur until combined.
- Slowly add 1/3 of the hot cream mixture to the egg mixture, whisking it in 2 tablespoons at a time until incorporated. Once 1/3 of the cream is incorporated, stir in the remaining hot cream.
- Pour the custard into the ramekins. Fill the roasting pan with boiling hot water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
- Bake in the preheated oven until set, about 50 to 60 minutes.
- Once set, place the ramekins on a wire rack to cool to room temperature, about 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate until cold, approximately 4 hours.
- Before serving, unwrap the custards and sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of superfine sugar onto each. Gently shake to coat the top surface, then tip to a 45-degree angle to shake off excess sugar.
- Using a small hand torch, melt the sugar by making short passes over the top of the custards with the flame not quite touching. Continue until the sugar turns deep brown and forms a crispy crust. Serve immediately. Alternatively, brown the sugar-dusted custards under the broiler in the oven.
