BAKED CUSTARD WITH BURNT SUGAR

Serves :
6

Preparation Time :
20 minutes

Cooking Time :
30 minutes

Preparation Method :

  • Preheat the oven to 150°C/300°F/ Gas 2. Place ramekins in a roasting tin or ovenproof dish and set aside while you prepare the vanilla custard.
  • Split the vanilla pod and scrape the seeds into a pan. Add the cream and bring just to the boil, stirring frequently. Remove from the heat and cover. Set aside for 20 minutes.
  • In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks, caster sugar and liqueur, if using, until well blended. Whisk in the hot cream and strain into a large jug. Divide the custard equally among the ramekins.
  • Pour enough boiling water into the roasting tin to come about halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Cover the tin with foil and bake for about 30 minutes until the custards are just set.
  • To test whether the custards are ready, push the point of a knife into the centre of one - if it comes out clean the custards are cooked. Remove the ramekins from the tin and leave to cool. Return to the dry roasting tin and chill.
  • Preheat the grill. Sprinkle the sugar evenly over the surface of each custard and grill for 30 seconds until the sugar melts and caramelizes, taking care not to let the sugar burn. Place in the fridge to chill and set the crust.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 vanilla pod
  • 1 litre double cream
  • 8 egg yolks
  • 100 grams caster sugar
  • 3 tablespoon almond or orange liqueur
  • 100 grams soft light brown sugar
