Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Low-fat milk
- 4 large Egg yolks
- 6 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 4 teaspoons Granulated sugar (topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a medium saucepan, heat the low-fat milk over medium-low heat until it is warm but not boiling. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, 6 tablespoons of granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is pale and creamy.
Slowly pour the warmed milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to avoid cooking the eggs. Mix until well combined.
Strain the custard mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to ensure a smooth texture.
Divide the mixture evenly among 4 oven-safe ramekins.
Place the ramekins in a large baking dish. Carefully pour hot water into the baking dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins (this creates a water bath to prevent the custard from cracking).
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still have a slight jiggle when gently shaken.
Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully chilled.
Just before serving, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar evenly over the surface of each custard. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it forms a crispy golden-brown crust. Alternatively, you can place the ramekins under a broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
Allow the caramelized crust to cool for about a minute before serving. Serve immediately and enjoy!
