INGREDIENTS
330ml cream
5 egg yolks
50g sugar
65ml Cape Velvet Cream (You can use
any flavor, but English Toffee is the bomb!)
METHOD
Heat the cream over moderate heat to just below boiling
and remove from heat.
In another bowl whisk together the yolks, sugar and
Cape Velvet Cream until the sugar has dissolved.
Pour the warm cream over the mixture and quickly stir
together so as not to cook the egg.
Gently pour the mixture into six individual moulds,
place in a oven-proof dish of water and bake at 120°C
for 25 minutes.
Remove and chill.
Directly before serving lightly and evenly sprinkle
brown sugar on top and lightly glaze under the grill
or use a flame torch.
