Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Move a rack to the bottom of the oven.

  2. Whisk the egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla together in a stainless steel bowl until smooth. Bring the cream just to a simmer in a saucepan over medium-low heat, pour into the egg yolk mixture, whisking continually until combined.

  3. Bring a couple of inches of water to a simmer in an oven-safe saucepan over medium low heat, set the bowl with the cream mixture over the saucepan to form a double boiler.

  4. Place the entire double boiler into the preheated oven, bake until the mixture sets, about 30 minutes.

  5. Chill in refrigerator 2 hours.

  6. Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.

  7. Combine the brown sugar with 2 tablespoons of white sugar in a bowl, sprinkle evenly over the cold creme.

  8. Heat under the preheated broiler until the sugar melts and browns, 2 to 3 minutes, return immediately to the refrigerator and chill until the sugar is set, about 15 minutes.
