Ingredients for 4 150 ml bowls:

• Cream 30% - 350 ml
• Milk 3,2% - 100 ml
• Egg yolks - 7-8 pcs
• Sugar - 80 gr
• Vanilla stick
• Brown sugar - 40 g

The method of preparation:

1. Heat the milk, cream, and vanilla in a saucepan on the stove to 80-90 degrees and leave to brew a little so that the vanilla flavor is maximized.

2. Beat the egg yolks with the white sugar in a bowl with a whisk.

3. Pour the milk mixture into the yolks, stir, pass through a sieve, and portion into bowls.

4. Pour hot water (90-100 degrees) into a baking sheet or baking dish up to halfway.

5. Preheat the oven to 110 degrees with convection and bake for 30-35 minutes. Without convection – 50-55 minutes.

6. Chill the cream well, preferably overnight in the refrigerator.

7. Sprinkle with cane sugar and burn with a kitchen burner before serving.
