  1. Heat the oven to 150 °C. Warm the cream with the vanilla until it steams.
  2. Whisk the yolks with 100 g of the sugar until pale, then pour in the hot cream slowly, whisking.
  3. Pour into six shallow ramekins standing in a roasting tin, and add hot water to halfway up their sides.
  4. Bake for 35–40 minutes, until set at the edge with a slight wobble in the middle. Cool, then chill for at least 3 hours.
  5. Just before serving, sprinkle each with the remaining sugar and caramelise it with a blowtorch or under a very hot grill.
