Serves 12 cups

2 Quarts Heavy Cream
2 Cups Egg Yolks
2 Cups Granulated Sugar
2 Vanilla Beans
Brown Sugar to top

 
Gently warm the cream so that the sugar can melt when tempered.  Stir together the sugar, yolks and vanilla and temper with the cream.  Pour in a ramekin or small soup cup to the top. Bake in a water bath at 350 degrees for 1-1.5 hours.   Cool after removing.

TOPPING:

Put a thin layer of the brown sugar on top of the cooled cream mixture.  Gently caramelize with an iron or torch.  Serve immediately.
