Ingredients

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 4 egg yolks
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup chopped macadamia nuts
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for caramelizing)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 300°F.
2. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it just starts to boil. Remove from heat and stir in the white chocolate chips until completely melted.

6. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the custards are set but still slightly wobbly in the center.
7. Remove ramekins from the water bath and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
8. Sprinkle a thin layer of granulated sugar on top of each custard and caramelize with a kitchen torch until golden brown and crispy.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
