These silky custard cups are the kind of dessert that feels quietly luxurious — the sort of thing you'd expect at a little bistro, but surprisingly straightforward to pull off at home. Whole milk and a real vanilla bean give the base a deep, fragrant richness, while the water bath bake ensures each cup sets to that perfect slow-wobble texture without cracking or curdling. The white peach topping is effortless: just a quick toss with sugar and a few minutes of resting lets the fruit soften and release its own sweet, floral juice. White peaches are a little more delicate and perfumed than their yellow counterparts, and they pair beautifully with the vanilla-scented cream underneath. Every component here is clean and straightforward — milk, eggs, sugar, fruit — so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about unexpected additions hiding in a premade mix. Chilled and topped right before serving, these cups are elegant enough for a dinner party but simple enough to make on a quiet afternoon.

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.
Combine the milk, vanilla bean pod, and scraped seeds in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Warm until small bubbles appear around the edges and steam rises from the surface, about 5 minutes — do not boil. Remove from heat and let steep for 10 minutes, then discard the pod.
