Ingredients

2 cups whipping cream (500 ml)

1 - 2-inch (5 cm) piece of vanilla bean, sliced down its length OR 1 tsp ( 5 ml) vanilla essence

4 egg yolks

1/4 cup granulated sugar (50 ml)

1/4 cup granulated sugar for topping (demura, or organic works too)

SAMBUCCA ICE CREAM:

2 cups natural-vanilla flavour ice cream (500 ml)

1/4 cup White Sambucca (50 ml)

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 F (160 C).

Bring cream and vanilla bean to boil. Cool for 15 minutes. Strain out vanilla bean. If you use vanilla essence, add when cream has cooled slightly.

With a whisk, beat together egg yolks and sugar for 2 to 3 minutes, or until thick and lemon coloured. Whisk in warm cream.

Butter four 1-cup (250 ml) ramekins or custard cups. Divide custard between the cups. Place cups in a baking dish large enough to hold all four. Add hot water half-way up the outsides of the ramekins. (This is called a bain-marie, or water-bath; it keeps the custards moist while they cook, and helps to keep them from getting crusty and cracking.)

Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the custard is just set (it will be jiggly still in the middle). Remove from the water bath, cool completely, and refrigerate if not serving very soon.

Before servng, sieve (or sprinkle) 1 TBSP (15 ml) sugar evenly over each custard. Place under broiler as close to heat as possible, and watch sugar caramelize; it takes very little time, and burns easily (2 - 3 minutes). BE CAREFUL though. The sugar will turn a golden brown colour. Watch very carefully so as not to burn sugar. (OR, you can use a hand-held baker's torch and torch the tops; I am married to a plumber, so I get HIM to come in and torch the tops when I'm ready!)

Cool to room temperature, and serve, topped with Sambucca Ice Cream.

TO MAKE SAMBUCCA ICE CREAM: Soften the ice cream slightly. Beat in the Sambucca. Re-freeze until ready to serve.

I guess someone did not like this recipe, which is really unfortunate. Maybe that person could let us know why? or, what went wrong? Just curious, and thank you :)

Kukla, if someone didn't like it,it was probably because they were afraid of having a HEART ATTACK!! I'm willing to take my chances on this one.
I share mystic river's view--wowwowowow. I would have done a cartwheel too, but I'm way too old and out of shape. I'll let my granddaughter do the cartwheel. She also loves creme brulee
