In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream and split vanilla bean (or vanilla extract). Heat over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and let it steep for 15 minutes.

Prepare the Cream

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.

Whisk Egg Yolks

Slowly pour the warm cream into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling. Remove the vanilla bean if used.

Combine Mixtures

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Place ramekins in a baking dish and fill them with the custard mixture.

Prepare Ramekins

Pour hot water into the baking dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly jiggly.

Bake

Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool at room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until chilled.

Cool and Chill

Sprinkle the granulated sugar evenly over the chilled custards. Using a kitchen torch, caramelize the sugar until it turns golden brown. Alternatively, you can place them under a broiler for a few minutes.

Caramelize the Sugar

Allow the crème brûlée to sit for a minute before serving. Enjoy the contrast of the crispy sugar topping with the creamy custard!
