Ingredients
  

For the Custard
  • 2 cups Heavy Cream Provides the base for the custard, contributing to its rich, creamy texture.
  • 1 cup Milk Adds a lighter consistency to the custard; can substitute with whole milk or non-dairy milk.
  • 4 tablespoons Thai Tea Mix Infuses the custard with authentic Thai tea flavors; recommended brand is Pantai.
  • 5 large Egg Yolks Act as the thickening agent for the custard.
  • 1/2 cup Sweetened Condensed Milk Adds sweetness and further enhances creaminess; can adjust to taste.
For the Topping
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar Used for caramelizing on top; white sugar is preferred.

Equipment

  • saucepan
  • whisk
  • Ramekins
  • kitchen torch

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F.
  2. In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, milk, and Thai tea mix. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and let steep for 5-10 minutes. Strain out the tea leaves.
  3. Whisk the large egg yolks with sweetened condensed milk in a heatproof bowl. Gradually drizzle in the strained cream mixture while whisking continuously.
  4. Pour the custard mixture into ramekins and place in a deep baking dish filled with hot water halfway up the sides. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
  5. Allow the ramekins to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  6. Just before serving, sprinkle granulated sugar evenly over the top of each custard and caramelize using a kitchen torch.
