Instructions

1

Heat the oven to 150C. Warm the cream with the split vanilla pod and seeds until just steaming, then remove from the heat and leave to infuse for 10 minutes.

2

Whisk the egg yolks with half the sugar until pale.

3

Discard the vanilla pod and gradually pour the warm cream onto the yolks, whisking constantly.

4

Strain into four ramekins set in a roasting tin. Pour hot water into the tin to come halfway up the sides.

5

Bake for 30-35 minutes until just set with a slight wobble. Cool, then chill for at least 3 hours.

6

Just before serving, sprinkle the tops evenly with the remaining sugar and caramelise with a blowtorch or under a hot grill until a crisp amber crust forms.
