  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Enough granulated sugar to sprinkle on top to make the hard shell

  3. In a bowl, beat the egg yolks until they become a very pale yellow;
  4. Start adding the sugar slowly. Continue beating until it thickens,
  5. Mix the cream into the egg mixture;
  6. Divide the mixture equally into the ramekins, and place them in an oven proof baking dish;
  7. Pour cold water in the baking dish, until it's half way up the side of the ramekins;
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until it starts to set on the edges, but it's still soft in the center;
  9. Remove from oven and let cool. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours;
  10. Before serving, sprinkle about 2 or 3 tsp of sugar over the top of each ramekin. Caramelize with a small handheld torch or under a hot broiler until sugar is golden brown.
