Ingredients
-
3 large egg yolks
-
¼ cup white sugar
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1 cup heavy cream
-
2 tablespoons white sugar
-
1 tablespoon brown sugar
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Move an oven rack to the lowest position.
-
Whisk egg yolks, 1/4 white sugar, and vanilla together in a stainless steel bowl until smooth. Bring cream just to a simmer in a saucepan over medium-low heat; pour into egg yolk mixture, whisking continuously until combined.
-
Bring a couple of inches of water to a simmer in an oven-safe saucepan over medium-low heat; set the bowl with cream mixture over the saucepan to form a double boiler.
-
Place the entire double boiler into the preheated oven; bake until mixture sets, about 30 minutes.
-
Chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
-
Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
-
Combine 2 tablespoons white sugar and brown sugar in a small bowl; sprinkle evenly over cold crème.
-
Heat under the preheated broiler until sugar melts and browns, 2 to 3 minutes; return immediately to the refrigerator and chill until sugar is set, about 15 minutes.
