preparation
1. Prepare the ingredients exactly the same way as for creme caramel, but instead of whole eggs, use egg yolks; and instead of milk, use heavy cream. Fill the dishes as close to the top as you can.
2. Place the custards in a jelly roll pan or shallow baking pan and pour in enough hot tap water to come about halfway up the sides of the molds. Bake until firm when jiggled. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
3. Sprinkle the custards with just enough sugar to form a thin layer with no gaps in it.
4. Wave a blowtorch over the custards. Don't hold the torch too close or the surface won't caramelize evenly.
