  • Large bowl
  • medium saucepan
  • whisk
  • 6 ramekins or 8 shallow dishes
  • large deep oven tray
  • measuring jug – optional
  • blow torch - optional
  • sharp knifechopping board

Ingredients
 
 

  • 125 g strawberries
  • 600 ml double cream
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 50 g caster sugar
  • 50 g granulated sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 150 C / 300 F / 130 FAN / Gas 2.
  • Wash and hull the strawberries and dry them on kitchen paper.
    Cut into pieces about 1 centimetre or half an inch.
  • Place the ramekins in a large oven tray and divide the strawberries between them.
  • Put the egg yolks vanilla and granulated sugar into a large bowl and whisk together for 2 minutes until pale and creamy.
  • Place the cream in a saucepan over a low to medium heat. Bring to simmer then remove from the heat and cool for a minute
  • Whisk a very small amount of cream into the egg yolks, then gradually pour in the rest, whisking all the time.
  • Fill the ramekins with the mixture and place in a deep sided roasting tray.
  • Pour in hot water from a kettle so that it comes halfway up the sides.
  • Bake ramekins for an hour or until the custard is just set.
  • Remove from the water bath, leave to cool then refrigerate for an hour.
  • For the topping, spread a layer of sugar over the baked custard.
  • Use a blow torch to caramelise the sugar. Alternatively, place under a very hot grill, watching constantly.
  • The topping will harden in a few minutes, but it's best to put the desserts in the fridge for a few minutes before serving
