Ingrédients

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup whole milk

5 large egg yolks

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom

1/2 cup dried apricots, finely chopped

2 tablespoons turbinado sugar

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream and milk over medium heat until just about to simmer. Remove from heat.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and pale.
Slowly pour the warm cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
Stir in the ground cardamom and finely chopped dried apricots.
Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a large measuring cup or a bowl with a spout to remove any lumps or cooked egg pieces.
Divide the mixture evenly among 4 ramekins.
Place the ramekins in a baking dish and pour hot water into the dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the custards are set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until completely chilled.
Before serving, sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon of turbinado sugar evenly over the surface of each custard.
Using a kitchen torch, caramelize the sugar until it forms a golden and crispy layer. Alternatively, you can place the ramekins under a broiler, watching closely to prevent burning.
Let the sugar topping cool for a minute to harden before serving.
