Ingredients

• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 5 large Egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Fresh raspberries
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

Step 2

Distribute the fresh raspberries evenly into six 4-ounce ramekins and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium-low heat until it begins to steam (do not let it boil). Remove from heat.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar until the mixture is pale and thickened.

Step 5

Gradually pour the warm cream into the egg mixture while continuously whisking to temper the eggs and prevent scrambling.

Step 6

Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 7

Strain the custard mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup or bowl with a spout to remove any lumps or cooked egg bits.

Step 8

Carefully pour the custard mixture into the ramekins over the raspberries, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 9

Place the filled ramekins in a large baking dish. Pour hot water into the baking dish until it reaches about halfway up the sides of the ramekins to create a water bath.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the custards are just set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

Step 11

Carefully remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature. Then, refrigerate them for at least 2 hours or overnight until fully chilled.

Step 12

When ready to serve, sprinkle a thin, even layer of brown sugar (or remaining granulated sugar) over each custard.

Step 13

Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar, moving the flame in small circles until the sugar melts and turns golden brown. Let the caramelized sugar harden for 1-2 minutes before serving.

Step 14

Serve immediately and enjoy the creamy raspberry custard with the crackling sugar topping.
