How to recreate a no cheat treat favourite dessert at home. Super simple to make and using Arla B.O.B milk it’s just as creamy and delicious but without the added calories.

Ingredients

6 ramekins or small bowls along with:

1 Vanilla pod
4 Egg yolks
0.3 litre Arla® B.o.b milk
40 g Caster sugar
40 g Demerara sugar

Instructions

Step 1

Start by splitting the vanilla pod lengthways with a knife and scrape out all the seeds from inside the pod.

Step 2

Add the seeds and the pod to a pan with the milk and bring to the boil. Then simmer for another 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and set aside.

Step 3

In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and caster, then add the hot milk and mix well.

Step 4

Take out the vanilla pod (you can clean it and let it completey dry to use again!)

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 140°C and add equal quantities of the mixture into the ramekins or bowls

Step 6

Place the filled ramekins into a roasting oven tray and then add enough boiling water to the tin or dish to reach 3/4 of the height of the ramekins.

Step 7

Pop the oven tray in the oven and bake for roughly 30 minutes until the mixture has just set.

Step 8

Once set remove from the oven and allow them to cool down fully. When cold, add to the fridge to chill for at least 1 hour (you can also freeze them at this stage if you are batch cooking or making them for a later date). Preheat the grill to very hot.

Step 9

Sprinkle the demerara sugar over the top of each bowl, and caramelise under the hot grill for 2–3 minutes, or you could use a blow torch if you have one.
