Preparation

2h 30 mins

Medium

Preheat the oven to 180ºC. Place 6 molds on a baking tray. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the creams and vanilla essence. Cook until it starts to bubble, cover, and remove from heat. In a deep bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together using a whisk. Gradually incorporate the cream mixture. Pour the cream into the crema catalana molds and empty 1-2 cups of water into the baking tray (this will help keep the creams moist). 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 (about 3 minutes). Serve the creams or refrigerate until serving.
