Ingredients

• 6 egg yolks
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for caramelizing)

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and place six ramekins in a large baking dish.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and 1/3 cup of granulated sugar until well combined.
3. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly.
5. Strain the custard mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to ensure a smooth texture.
6. Divide the custard evenly among the ramekins in the baking dish.
7. Place the baking dish in the oven and pour enough hot water into the dish to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
8. Bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until the custards are set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
9. Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the custards cool in the water bath for 10 minutes.
10. Transfer the ramekins to a wire rack and let them cool to room temperature.
