Full ingredients contained in kit:  Sugar, Madagascan vanilla pod

 

1. Preheat the oven to 150oC and put your ramekins in a roasting tin. Pour the cream into a small, heavy-based pan and slit the vanilla pod in half lengthways. Scrape out the seeds and chop up the pod and throw the whole lot into the pan with the cream. Bring to the boil over a medium-low heat then take off the heat.
2. Meanwhile put the yolks and half of your sugar into a medium bowl and stir until just combined. Stain the cream onto the egg yolks and sugars.  Push through any vanilla seeds through the sieve.

3. Divide the mixture between the ramekins and pour cold water into the tin until it comes two-thirds of the way up the ramekins. Bake for about 30 minutes until the custard is set – it should only wobble slightly when shaken. Cool and then chill until cold.  At least 2 hours.
4. Scatter the tops of the cold brulees with the remainder of the sugar, and use your blowtorch to caramelise the tops.
