Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 1/4 cups heavy cream
2 tbsp. dried lavender flowers
5 egg yolks
2/3 cup plus 8 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 F. Line a baking pan that is 2 inches deep with a kitchen towel. Have a pot of simmering water ready. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine cream and lavender; bring just to a simmer. Remove from heat and let stand for 10 minutes. In a medium bowl, whisk together egg yolks, 2/3 cup sugar, and vanilla until blended. Slowly add the lavender cream, whisking constantly until blended. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl and divide among 4 ramekins. Place ramekins in prepared baking pan and add simmering water to fill the pan halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Cover pan loosely with foil and bake until custards are just set, about 40 minutes. Remove ramekins from pan and transfer to a wire rack. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Just before serving, sprinkle 2 tsp. sugar evenly over surface of each custard. Using a kitchen torch, melt sugar until evenly browned. Let sugar cool to make a hard shell before serving.
