-
Beat your egg yolks in a bowl on high until they are thick.
-
Slowly beat in your granulated sugar.
-
Heat your cream in a pot until it gets very warm.
-
DO NOT LET IT GET VERY HOT!
-
Slowly, and a tiny bit at a time, stir in just half of your egg mixture.
-
Make sure they are mixed well.
-
You can stir in the other half of the egg mixture into the pot.
-
Cook on low heat, continously stirring it for about 5 to 10 minutes until the mixture thickens.
-
DO NOT LET THIS BOIL!
-
When it thickens, pour the mixture into individual custard cups and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
-
When you're almost ready to serve, sprinkle the top of the custard with the brown sugar and put it under your broiler, making sure to keep a close eye on it and to use oven-safe custard cups (I recommend anything by Corning Ware or Pyrex).
