  • Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
  • Arrange 6 crema catalana molds on a baking tray (heart-shaped molds are preferable).
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the creams, vanilla extract, and white pepper. Cook until it starts to bubble, cover, and remove from heat.
  • In a deep bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together with a balloon whisk. Gradually incorporate the cream mixture.
  • Pour the cream into the crema catalana molds and add 1-2 cups of water to the baking tray (this will help with the moisture of the creams).
  • Bake the creams for 35 minutes, remove from the oven, and cool. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until very cold.
  • Take the creams and sprinkle each with 2 tablespoons of sugar. Melt the sugar under a broiler until golden (3 minutes).
  • Serve the creams or refrigerate until ready to serve.
