Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre-made pie crust (9 inches)
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 5 large egg yolks
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Fit the pie crust into a pie dish and crimp the edges.
- In a saucepan over low heat, warm heavy cream with half of the sugar until hot but not boiling. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- In a bowl, whisk egg yolks and remaining sugar until pale. Gradually add the warm cream while whisking continuously to prevent scrambling.
- Pour the filling into the crust and bake for 30-35 minutes until slightly jiggly in the center.
- Cool at room temperature for 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Before serving, sprinkle an even layer of sugar on top and caramelize using a kitchen torch or broiler.
