Custard under a torched sugar glass — the crack of the spoon is the whole point. Silky and spoonable, with a clean, comforting sweetness. Make it a day ahead — it only improves overnight.

Prep 20 min Cook 7 min Serves 4 Medium

Ingredients

Heavy Cream1/4 cup
Salta pinch
Milk2 cups
Sugar1 tsp
Vanilla Extract1 cup, chopped
Egg Yolk1 cup, chopped

Instructions

1
Chill your bowls and whisk if you are working with cream — cold cream whips better.
2
Warm the milk with the egg yolk gently until steaming, not boiling, so the base stays smooth.
3
Whisk the heavy cream with the sugar, then temper with a ladle of the hot milk, whisking hard.
4
Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture coats the back of a spoon.
5
Chill until fully set — overnight is best — and finish with a scatter of sugar.

Chef's tip

Room-temperature ingredients blend smoother — pull the dairy and eggs out of the fridge an hour ahead.
