Ingredients

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 4 oz white chocolate, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 5 large egg yolks
• 4 tsp granulated sugar (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Prepare a deep baking pan for a water bath by placing 4 ramekins inside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to steam but does not boil.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the finely chopped white chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar until pale and slightly thickened. Slowly whisk in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the warm white chocolate-cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, pouring a little at a time and whisking constantly to avoid cooking the eggs.

Step 6

Strain the custard mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pouring jug to remove any lumps or bits of cooked egg.

Step 7

Divide the custard evenly among the ramekins in the baking pan.

Step 8

Carefully pour hot (but not boiling) water into the pan around the ramekins until it reaches halfway up their sides. This water bath will help the custard cook evenly.

Step 9

Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the custards are just set but still have a slight jiggle in the center.

Step 10

Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely.

Step 11

When ready to serve, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar evenly over the surface of each custard.

Step 12

Using a kitchen torch, carefully melt the sugar until it forms a golden, caramelized crust. Allow the sugar to harden for a minute before serving.

Step 13

Serve immediately and enjoy the contrast of the creamy custard with the crunchy caramelized top!
