Baked Custard

If this sounds familiar, it's because it's the same recipe as ice cream - but instead of freezing it, we bake it! You can burn the top with a mini torch to make creme brulee, but that may make it more eggy tasting.

Warm one pint of heavy whipping cream in a saucepan. Add slowly to 4 egg yolks, whisking, until combined. Add 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional) and sweetener to taste (optional) and whisk. Pour into a baking dish (or several small dishes) and bake in a bain marie at 325 degrees for 30-40 minutes or to desired consistency. Enjoy warm right out of the oven or later straight from the fridge!
