Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp Hazelnut Extract
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 3 tbsp Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 3 Egg yolks
- 30 grams Hazelnuts
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a saucepan, heat the milk, vanilla and hazelnut extract. Let it simmer on low. Do not boil.
- In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar.
- Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg mixture while whisking to prevent eggs from curdling. Mix until well combined.
- Pour mixture onto ramekins.
- Bake in a water bath, by placing the ramekins in a deep baking dish. Fill the pan with hot water half-way up the ramekins.
- Carefully place the pan into the oven and bake for 25-35 minutes or until the center is about set.
- Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let it cook to room temperature. Refrigerate to chill.
- Once cooled, sprinkle sugar over each custard. Pass the flame of the torch in circular motion until sugar caramelizes, melts and bubbles. Serve!
- Option: If you dont have a kitchen torch, place the ramekins 2-3 inches from the heat source in the oven and turn on the broiler. Cook until sugar caramelizes for about 5 minutes.
