Critical Success Points

  • Do not let the cream boil; it will break.
  • Temper the egg yolks slowly to avoid scrambling.
  • Bake in a gentle water bath at low temperature for a silky texture.
  • Caramelize the sugar evenly with a torch or broiler.

Safety Warnings

  • Hot cream can cause severe burns – handle with care.
  • Use the kitchen torch in a well‑ventilated area; keep flammable objects away.
  • Water bath can be heavy and hot; use oven mitts when moving the pan.
