Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 8 Oreos, cookies and filling separated
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla paste or pure vanilla extract
- 5 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar, plus more for topping
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Heat heavy cream over low heat. Add Oreo cream filling to heavy cream and bring to low simmer.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
- Whisk together egg yolks, sugar, and salt.
- Temper cream into egg mixture by slowly pouring in 1 cup of cream while whisking. Continue until incorporated.
- Place ramekins in large baking dish. Pour cream mixture into ramekins.
- Crush cookies and add 1 Tablespoon of crumbs to each ramekin.
- Fill baking dish with enough hot water so it rises halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
- Carefully place dish into oven and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes. Time will vary depending on ramekin. The edges should be set, but the centers should still be a little jiggly. Double-check with an instant-read thermometer that registers 170 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Remove baking dish from oven and place ramekins on cooling rack for about a half hour before covering and moving to refrigerator. Chill custard for at least 4 hours and up to 2 days.
- Before serving, top each custard with a thin layer of sugar (about 1 teaspoon).
- Caramelize sugar with kitchen torch and serve immediately.
