Print Recipe
Ingredients
- 6 egg yolks
- 6 tablespoons sugar divided- 4 tbsp for custard, 2 tbsp for carmelizing
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Whisk together the egg yolks, 4 tbsp of sugar and a pinch of salt.
- Add whipping cream and vanilla and whisk until well blended.
- Divide the mixture evenly between 5-6 (6oz) ramekins. I filled each ramekin about 3/4 full. Cover each tightly with foil.
- Gently place in air fryer basket and air fry at 370 °F for 32 minutes.
- Check after the first minute to ensure none of the tinfoil flew off. Resecure or use tinfoil wrapped all the way around the ramekin.
- Use potholders or tongs to carefully remove hot ramekins and set on a rack to cool.
- Once completely cooled, cover with plastic wrap and chill for a minimum of 1 hour or up to 2 days.
- When ready to serve, top each ramekin with 1 teaspoon sugar and then either use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar or broil for 2-3 minutes in your oven.
- Let stand for a few mins before serving.
Notes
If using a hand or stand mixer, use the lower settings. It’s ok for some bubbles to get in the egg mixture, but let the bubbles settle for a few minutes prior to baking.
