Ingredients:
6 egg yolks |
1/3 cup sugar |
2 1/2 cups whipping cream |
1 tablespoon vanilla extract |
1/2 cup dark brown sugar |
garnishes: strawberries, fresh mint sprigs |
Directions:
1. Beat eggs and sugar at medium speed with an electric mixer until blended. Set aside.
2. Bring whipping cream to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Gradually add to egg mixture, beating at low speed until blended; stir in vanilla. Pour into 8 (5- x 1-inch) round baking dishes. Place baking dishes in a 15- x 10-inch pan. Add hot water to depth of 1/2 inch.
3. Bake at 275° for 45 to 50 minutes or until almost set. Remove custard cups from pan, and cool on a wire rack. Cover and chill at least 8 hours.
4. Sprinkle each custard with 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and place in a pan.
5. Broil 5 1/2 inches from heat (with electric oven door partially open) until sugar melts (about 2 to 3 minutes). Let stand 5 minutes to allow sugar to harden. Garnish, if desired.
