Equipment

  • Measuring cups
  • Saucepot
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Tablespoon
  • Whisk
  • Large baking dish (or 2 medium dishes)
  • Ramekins
  • Ladle
  • Tea kettle with a spout
  • Sheet pan
  • Small kitchen blow torch or broiler

Ingredients

  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 6 whole eggs

Instructions

  • All ingredients ready? Let's begin!
  • In a saucepot over medium heat, place the milk, sugar, cinnamon sticks, and vanilla. Cook until it comes to a low boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. As soon as the mixture starts to boil, remove the pot from the heat. Allow the milk to cool for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs.
  • Remove the cinnamon sticks from the cooled milk mixture. Add a tablespoon of the milk mixture to the eggs while whisking to incorporate. Add 2 more tablespoons of the milk, one at a time, while continuing to whisk. This will temper the eggs. Pour the remaining milk into the eggs and whisk until well combined.
  • In a large baking dish or 2 medium baking dishes, place your empty ramekins. Ladle custard into each ramekin to fill ¾ of the way. While you are filling the ramekins, fill your tea kettle with water and bring it to a boil. Carefully place the baking dish in the oven and fill the baking dish ½ way with water around the ramekins, being careful not to get any water in the custard.
  • Bake for 30 minutes until the custard is set. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center and checking that it comes out clean.
  • After the custard is cooked through, carefully remove the ramekins to a sheet pan. Torch the tops until lightly browned. Alternatively, place the pan of ramekins under a broiler for a couple of minutes until lightly caramelized.
  • Place the sheet pan of custard-filled ramekins inside the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours.
  • Serve the chilled custard right in the ramekins and top with berries if you like.
