2 C Heavy Cream
4 Egg Yolks
1/4 C sugar

Preheat oven to 300. Have pot of hot water ready. In saucepan over medium, combine cream and 1/4 C sugar. Cook until steam rises (4-5 minutes). In bowl, beat egg yolks and vanilla. Pour a small amount of cream into eggs and whisk. Add remaining cream. Pour into 4 ramekin dishes. Put dishes into casserole dish and fill with hot water halfway up ramekins. Bake covered with foil 60 minutes. Remove and chill 3 hours. Sprinkle brown sugar on top and put 2-3 inches under broiler-WATCH CLOSELY-until sugar melts. Chill.
