Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 F.

  2. Combine heavy cream, 1/2 cup sugar, and 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until just simmering, then cool for 15-20 minutes.

  3. Whisk egg yolks and salt, then gradually incorporate the cooled cream mixture and vanilla extract, dividing the custard among 6 ramekins.

  4. Start boiling water, then pour it into a larger pan surrounding the ramekins, filling halfway up their sides.

  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes until custards show a slight jiggle in the center.

  6. Remove ramekins to a rack to cool.

  7. Discard water, then refrigerate ramekins uncovered for 3-4 hours until fully chilled.

  8. Just before serving, sprinkle 1-1.5 teaspoons of sugar evenly on each custard. Caramelize with a kitchen torch until browned, or broil until sugar melts and browns, watching carefully.

  9. Sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon.
