Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup Thai tea mix
- 5 egg yolks
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2–3 tbsp granulated sugar (for caramelizing)
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine heavy cream and milk over low heat until simmering. Remove from heat and add Thai tea mix; steep for 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
- In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Strain the infused cream through a fine mesh sieve back into the saucepan and heat until simmering again.
- Gradually whisk the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture to prevent curdling.
- Strain again into a measuring cup and divide among four ramekins in a baking pan.
- Fill the pan with boiling water (without splashing into ramekins) and bake for 35–40 minutes until set but slightly wobbly in the center.
- Cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least two hours.
- When serving, sprinkle each custard with sugar and caramelize using a kitchen torch or broiler.
