8 egg yolks
1/3 cup granulated sugar
11/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup brown sugar
a handfull of raspberries
a handfull of dark chocolate chips
1. Whisk egg yolks and sugar together in a bowl
2. Warm milk in a small pot or sauce pan until little whisps of steam rise from the pot. While it's heating, crush your raspberries and, if you want, crush your chocolate chips.
3. SLOWLY, oh so slowly, add the warm milk to the eggs while whisking vigorously. I usually get a friend to hold the bowl or veerryyy sslloowwwlllyyy add the milk for me.
4. Pour equal amounts into 8 ramekin dishes. Place all 8 dishes into a shallow pan. Fill the pan, with hot water, to halfway up the ramekin dishes.
5. Heat the oven to 350°F
6. "Sprinkle" the crushed raspberries and chocolate into the dishes. They will sink, that's ok.
7. Put the pan into the oven for 30-35 minutes.
8. Once they've cooked, take the dishes out of the pan and put them into the fridge for min 2 hours.
9. After those two hours, sprinkle the brown sugar on top of all of them, making it as evenly spread across as possible.
10. Heat the oven to 400°F and put the ramekins back into the oven, in the shallow pan half filled with COLD water to melt the sugar. OR you can use a blow torch to melt it, it's your choice. I didn't time the oven so just watch it. I'm guessing it took around 10 minutes.
11. Top with a raspberry and enjoy!
