Ingredients

• 3 Large Egg Yolks
• 300ml Double Cream
• 70g Caster Sugar
• 1/2 tsp Vanilla Essence
• 125g Large Blueberries
• 4 Ramekin Dishes

  

Method

1. Pre-heat the oven to 150°C/300°F/Gas Mark 2.
2. Whisk the egg yolks with 30g caster sugar in a bowl until pale and thick.
3. Put the cream in a saucepan and slowly bring to the boil. Pour the boiling cream over the egg yolk mix, whisking as you pour.
4. Keep a few blueberries for decoration, divide the rest between the 4 ramekin dishes and then pour the custard over them.
5. Place the ramekin dishes in a roasting tin and pour enough boiling water into the roasting tin to reach halfway up the sides of the dishes.
6. Bake in the oven for about 30-40 minutes until just firm to the touch. Take the ramekin dishes out of the oven, allow to cool, and then refrigerate until cold.
7. Divide the remaining sugar between the 4 dishes and sprinkle on top. Either use a chef's blowtorch to burn the sugar or place quickly under a very hot grill. Garnish with the remaining blueberries and serve.
