Ingredients

Scale

1 pre-baked pie crust (9 inches)
1 cup granulated sugar (divided)
4 large egg yolks
2 cups heavy cream
2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a saucepan over low heat, combine heavy cream and half of the sugar, stirring until dissolved.
In a bowl, whisk egg yolks with the remaining sugar until pale. Gradually whisk in the warm cream mixture to avoid scrambling.
Stir in vanilla extract.
Pour custard into the pre-baked pie crust and bake for 30-35 minutes until slightly jiggly in the center. Allow to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least two hours.
Before serving, sprinkle granulated sugar on top and use a kitchen torch to caramelize until golden brown.
