- In a bowl add the yolks and sugar and whisk together with a balloon whisk until sugar dissolves and nice and creamy.
- Slowly and gradually add cream mixture to the yolks and continue to whisk while slowly adding ( make sure it's done a bit at a time and whisking while adding to stop the eggs from scrambling)

This is absolutely beautiful and very easy to make. I wouldn’t change anything. Use a kitchen torch to do the top. I don’t have one so use hubbys blow torch .
I put some boiling wter directly into my crock pot last year…and it cracked
If it was winter/cold you’d be best to avoid the sudden change in temp so you can overcome that by just adding some warm water to the bowl first to warm it up. Then tip that out before adding the hotter water 🙂
