- 1½ tsp vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
- ¼ tsp salt
- 5 egg yolks
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar plus extra for topping
- (3-4) Strawberries for garnish optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F. In a medium sauce pan whisk heavy cream, vanilla bean paste, and salt together on low just until hot. Meanwhile, bring a separate large pot of water to a boil.
- In a medium bowl whisk egg yolks and sugar together until light. Temper the eggs by adding ¼ of the hot cream mixture. Then, pour the tempered egg mixture into the cream and mix until combined. Pour mixture into four ramekins and place each dish into a 9×13 baking dish and fill the baking dish with the boiling water halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the centers are barely set. Cool and then place in the fridge for at least 4 hours and up to a couple of days.
