Crème Brûlée

4 cups heavy cream
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup sugar
6 egg yolks
1/2 cup brown sugar

Preheat oven to 300F. In a medium sauce pan, heat the cream and vanilla to a simmer. Remove pan from heat. Mix egg yolks and sugar until they are a pale yellow. Whisk cream into the egg mixture and pour into custard dishes.

Place dishes in a large baking dish. Pour boiling water into baking dish so it comes to half way up the custard dishes. Bake for 30 minutes or until custard is firm but still wiggles. Chill for at least one hour.

Top with brown sugar in an even layer and place under broiler until sugar melts and bubbles (or use a torch). Serve at room temperature.
