Steps:

  • Instructions Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In medium saucepan, mix fat-free milk and cornstarch until smooth. Stir in sugar and evaporated fat-free milk, combining well. Place saucepan over medium heat and warm through, stirring regularly, until mixture just begins to boil. Remove from heat and set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk together fat-free half & half with the egg yolks. Add a small amount of hot milk mixture, gently stirring in, then pour egg mixture gradually into saucepan with the rest of the milk mixture, stirring constantly. Add vanilla and brandy and stir to combine. Place six 1-cup ramekins or dessert dishes in two 13 x 9 baking pans. Divide custard mixture into the 6 ramekins. Pour hot water into the pans, creating a water bath for the ramekins. Place pans in the oven and bake 30 minutes or until custard is set. Remove ramekins from water bath and chill several hours or until completely cold. Immediately before serving, sprinkle 1 - 2 teaspoons of sugar on top of each dish of custard. Using a small butane-fuel torch, heat sugar until it caramelizes, turning a light brown. (For those that do not own a butane torch, see "Variations & Tips" for instructions to caramelize.)
