Preptime   1 hour and 30 min.

Ingredients
1/2 cup of sugar
2 cups whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
sprig of mint garnish (optional)
 

Instructions
Heat 4-5 cups of water in a pot on stove. put a saucepan over medium heat for 30 seconds. Add 1/2 cup sugar. With the back of a wooden spoon, keep sugar moving constantly in skillet until sugar is completely melted, and of a rich medium brown color (caramelized). Carefully spoon caramelized sugar into each of the 6 ramekins or large dish. Pre-heat oven to 325F
Scald cream in a saucepan. (Keep a close eye on the pan, so the cream does not boil over.) Remove immediately.Meanwhile in a mixing bowl, beat slightly 3 eggs. Mix in 1/4 cup sugar. Stirring constantly, gradually add hot cream to egg yolk mixture. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Blend in vanilla extract. Ladle mixture into ramekins.
Carefully remove 1-2 ramekins to provide some extra room Pour in hot water until there is about 1/2-inch of water in the 9” x 13” baking dish for boiling water bath. Replace ramekins. (If using one large open baking dish, be sure that the dish is tall enough to accommodate the water necessary.)If the water level does not reach 3/4 of the way up the sides of the ramekins, carefully pour more water in. Bake uncovered in water bath for 50-60 minutes, or until a knife comes out clean when inserted half way between center and the edge of dish.
Note- To ensure the custard does not over-cook, check doneness after 45 minutes, then every 3-5 minutes.Carefully remove each ramekin from the water bath. Set on a cooling rack until lukewarm, then chill thoroughly in refrigerator. This usually takes at least 1 hour. When ready to serve, un-mold by running a knife around the inside edge of baking dish.
Serving Suggestions
I will make about 15 servings by tripling the recipe.
