Instructions:

1. Prepare the Water Bath:

   • Place a 9×13 baking pan in the oven.
   • Fill the pan with 1/2 inch of water.
   • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare the Custard:

   • In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over low heat.
   • Heat until bubbles start forming at the edges of the pan.

3. Mix the Egg Yolk and Sugar:

   • In a mixing bowl, beat together the egg yolk and 2 cups of sugar.
   • Beat until the mixture is thick and pale, about 3 minutes.

4. Combine Cream and Egg Mixture:

   • Slowly pour the heated cream into the egg mixture.
   • Continuously whisk to prevent curdling.
   • Add in the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.

5. Bake the Custard:

   • Place six 6-ounce custard cups in the prepared water bath in the oven.
   • Carefully pour the custard mixture into each cup, dividing it evenly.

6. Bake Until Set:

   • Bake the custards in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes.
   • The custards should be set and have a slight jiggle in the center when gently shaken.

7. Chill the Custards:

   • Remove the custards from the oven and let them cool at room temperature.
   • Once cooled, transfer the custard cups to the refrigerator to chill completely.

8. Prepare the Burnt Sugar Topping:

   • Sprinkle about 2 teaspoons of sugar evenly over the top of each custard.
   • You can either:
     • Place the custard cups on the top rack of the oven and broil until the sugar caramelizes and forms a crispy top, about 1-2 minutes.
     • Use a kitchen torch to carefully caramelize the sugar until golden brown and bubbly.

9. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Once the sugar has caramelized and hardened, remove the custard cups from the oven or torch.
   • Allow them to cool for a minute or two before serving.
   • Garnish with fresh berries or a sprig of mint if desired.
   • Serve these delightful burnt crème desserts as a sweet ending to any meal!

Tips:

• Water Bath: Ensures gentle, even cooking for the custards without curdling.
• Caramelizing the Sugar: Watch closely to prevent burning. The sugar should melt and caramelize to a golden brown.
• Chilling Time: For best results, chill the custards for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
