Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F.
In a saucepan, combine 2 cups of heavy cream and 1 teaspoon of vanilla paste. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Once it does, remove it from the heat and set it aside.
In a mixing bowl, beat together 6 egg yolks and ⅓ cup of granulated sugar for approximately 5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and becomes pale in color.
Gradually add the cream and vanilla mixture to the beaten eggs, stirring constantly until well combined.
Divide the resulting mixture evenly among 4 ramekins and place them in a large baking pan. Pour hot water into the baking pan until it covers about ¾ of the ramekins.
Bake at 325°F for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until the Crème Brûlée is set but still slightly jiggles in the center.
Once the Crème Brûlée is done, remove it from the baking pan, allow it to cool completely, then cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours.
Just before serving, sprinkle granulated sugar over the Crème Brûlée and use a blow torch to caramelize the sugar until it forms a crispy top. Enjoy!
