Heat oven 300/150 degrees. Heat 3 cups of water to a boil.
Whisk the egg yolks & icing sugar & a pinch of salt together.
Add a dash of cream to lighten the mixture. Add the remaining cream & mix well.
Add the vanilla & stir to combine.
Strain the custard mixture into a jug & pour into 6 ramekins. Fill the ramekins to the top.
Place into a tray & fill with the boiling water. Do not get the water into the custard.
Bake for 45 mins - 1 hr. The custard should be just set in the centre, not runny.
Remove from the oven & the water bath. Allow to cool then place in the fridge to get cold.
Remove the ramekins from the fridge & dry the top of the custard with a napkin to remove any moisture. Sprinkle a little sugar on top, you should be able to see the custard through the sugar.
Arrange the ranekins on a tray & place in the highest point of the grill. Grill for 5-10 mins until the sugar turns golden brown.
Serve hot or cold.
