Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups pouring cream 35% fat
  • 1 vanilla bean split lengthwise
  • 9 large egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup caster sugar
  • 1 punnet of raspberries or blueberries, strawberries - whatever you like!
  • 6 tsps of light brown sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 160°C and place 6 x 3/4 cup ramekins into a large baking dish.
  • Pour the cream into a medium saucepan, add the split vanilla bean and scrape in the seeds. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  • Fill a second medium saucepan with around 10cm of water and bring to a simmer. Whisk the yolks and sugar in a metal bowl set over the saucepan of simmering water (make sure the metal bowl does not touch the water). Whisk for around 3 minutes or until mixture is pale yellow and hot to the touch.
  • Remove vanilla bean and gradually add hot cream to the eggs and sugar, whisking all the time.
  • Place 4-5 raspberries in the bottom of each ramekin and divide the hot cream and eggs mixture evenly into each ramekin.
  • Pour hot water into the large baking dish the ramekins are sitting in. The water needs to come halfway up the sides.
  • Bake the custards in their water bath for 25-30 mins or until set and lightly golden on top.
  • Remove the custards from the water and place in the fridge to set over night.
  • The next day sprinkle a teaspoon of brown sugar over each custard and place under the grill (or use a blow torch!) until golden and caramelised. Let sit for around 30 minutes to let the top harden (if you can wait that long!)
  • Decorate with remaining fresh raspberries and ENJOY!
