Equipment

Mixing bowl
Whisk
Measuring cups and spoons
6 6-ounce ramekins
Tin foil
Plastic wrap
Kitchen torch or broiler

Ingredients

4 pieces egg yolks
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1⅔ cups heavy cream, hot but not boiling
1-2 tablespoon granulated sugar (for caramelizing)

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together.
Gradually stir in the vanilla and heavy cream and whisk until well combined. Let sit for 10 minutes.
Divide the mixture evenly between four 6-ounce ramekins and cover each ramekin tightly with foil.
Preheat your air fryer to 300°F (150°C). Once preheated, place the ramekins inside and cook for 20 minutes. Then, without opening the air fryer basket, lower the temperature to 250°F (120°C) and bake additional 30 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.
Remove the ramekins from the air fryer and allow them to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, cover the ramekins with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
When you're ready to serve, sprinkle a thin layer of granulated sugar on top of each ramekin. Using a kitchen torch or broiler, caramelize the sugar until it forms a golden-brown crust. Serve immediately.
