  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup Thai tea mix
  • 5 egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla paste
  • 2-3 tbsp granulated sugar (for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, combine heavy cream and milk over low heat until simmering (do not boil). Remove from heat and add Thai tea mix. Steep for 15 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 300℉ (150℃).
  3. In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla paste until combined.
  4. Strain the infused cream through a fine-mesh sieve back into the saucepan and heat until simmering again. Gradually whisk hot cream into the egg mixture.
  5. Strain this mixture again into a measuring cup with a pouring lip.
  6. Divide custard evenly among ramekins placed in a baking pan. Carefully add boiling water to the pan, avoiding splashes into the ramekins.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes until set but slightly wobbly in the center.
  8. Cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least two hours or up to three days.
  9. Before serving, sprinkle sugar on top of each custard and caramelize using a blowtorch or broiler.
