Ingredients

• 4 egg yolks
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 1 cup eggnog
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 tablespoons white sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Whisk egg yolks and 1 tablespoon sugar together in a bowl until sugar is dissolved. Whisk in eggnog, cream, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
3. Pour eggnog mixture into 4 ramekins. Place ramekins in baking dish; pour in enough boiling water to come half way up the sides of ramekins.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until set, about 1 hour. Cool slightly, cover ramekins with plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 4 hours.
5. Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
6. Remove plastic wrap from ramekins. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar in a thin layer over top of each ramekin. Brown the sugar using a kitchen torch or under a broiler until golden and caramelized, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
