Ingredients
2 cups heavy cream
1 tablespoon dried lavender
1 tablespoon orange zest
6 large egg yolks
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup super-fine sugar for topping
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare a water bath by placing a baking dish inside a larger roasting pan.
2. In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, lavender, and orange zest. Heat over medium flame until it simmers, then remove from heat and let it steep for 10 minutes.
3. In a bowl, whisk egg yolks, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
4. Strain the cream mixture to remove lavender and zest, then gradually whisk it into the egg mixture.
5. Pour the mixture into the ramekins, place them in the baking dish, and fill the roasting pan with hot water halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
6. Bake for approximately 45 minutes until the centers are set but still slightly jiggly.
7. Remove ramekins from water bath and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
8. Before serving, sprinkle super-fine sugar evenly on top and caramelize using a kitchen torch until golden brown.
Storage
Store in the refrigerator covered with plastic wrap for up to 3 days.
