1 pt. whipping cream
4 egg yolks
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1 tbsp. vanilla extract

SUGAR FOR THE TOPPING:

4 tbsp. granulated sugar
1 tsp. brown sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat cream over low heat until bubbles form around the edge of pan. Beat egg yolks and sugar together until thick, about 3 minutes. Gradually beat cream into egg yolks. Add vanilla and pour into 6 (6-ounce) custard cups.

Place custard cups in baking pan that has about 1/2 inch of water in bottom. Bake until set, about 45 minutes. Remove custard cups from water and refrigerate until chilled. Sprinkle each custard with about 2 teaspoons sugar blend. Place on top rack under broiler and cook until topping is medium brown. Chill before serving. Makes 6 servings.
