Ingredients

4 servings

2 cups heavy cream
1 vanilla bean
5 large egg yolks
⅓ cup granulated sugar, plus 4 tsp for the topping
⅛ tsp fine salt

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Place four 6-oz ramekins in a deep baking dish large enough to hold them without touching.
2
Combine the heavy cream, vanilla bean pod, and scraped seeds in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Warm until small bubbles form around the edges and steam rises steadily, about 5 minutes — do not let it boil. Remove from heat and let steep for 10 minutes.
