Ingredients

Scale

2 cups heavy cream
6 large egg yolks
1/2 cup granulated sugar (plus extra for topping)
1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C) and prepare six ramekins in a baking dish filled with hot water halfway up the sides.
In a bowl, whisk together heavy cream, egg yolks, sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
Carefully pour the mixture into ramekins and bake for 30-35 minutes until just set but slightly jiggly in the center.
Allow to cool at room temperature before refrigerating for at least two hours or overnight.
Before serving, sprinkle sugar on top of each ramekin and caramelize with a kitchen torch until golden brown.
