Critical Success Points

  • Whisk egg yolks and sugar until pale and fluffy
  • Whip the liquid cream into a firm whipped cream
  • Baking: the centre should remain slightly trembling to avoid a grainy gratin
  • Caramelize the brown sugar to obtain a golden crust

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot oven with care; wear kitchen gloves for hot ramekins
  • Use pasteurized eggs if you are sensitive to salmonella risk
