directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 300ºF. Place 4 (4 oz.) ramekins in a baking dish.

Step 2

In a saucepan over medium-high heat, heat cream, maple syrup, vanilla, rum and salt until steaming and small bubbles appear around the edges. Add egg yolks to a medium bowl. Slowly whisk in cream mixture to yolks. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher with a pour spout. Divide mixture between ramekins.

Step 3

Add ½ inch of hot water to the base of the baking dish so it surrounds the ramekins.

Step 4

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until mixture wobbles when tapped and is just set. Cool for 30 minutes at room temperature then for 3 hours in the refrigerator.

Step 5

To serve, evenly divide ¼ cup of sugar between the ramekins. Using a blowtorch or rotating under a medium-high broiler, caramelize sugar. Rest for 5 minutes. Serve.
