Step by Step Method

Step 1

Combine cream, milk and vanilla in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer (do not bring to the boil) and then remove from heat.

Step 2

Beat egg yolks and 1/2 cup of the sugar with electric beaters until thick and pale and then slowly add hot cream mixture, stirring gently, until combined.

Step 3

Strain into a jug and pour evenly into ramekins.

Step 4

Add enough hot water to a roasting pan until water comes halfway up the sides of the ramekins and bake for 35 minutes or until just set.

Step 5

Cool slightly and then chill for 4 hours or until set.

Step 6

Meanwhile, line a baking tray with baking paper.

Step 7

Melt remaining sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until dissolved and a rich golden toffee forms.

Step 8

Pour onto tray and stand at room temperature for 30 minutes or until hard and then break into pieces and place in a food processor and add salt and process until finely chopped and place in an airtight container.
