You can serve them warm, or in summer I freeze them and eat them half frozen!! You can simply chill them in a refrigerator too! The inside is very creamy and the rum is so flavorful. This is amazing. Recipe by Yuka mama

Steps

1

Heat the milk and heavy cream in a small pot and remove from the heat just before it reaches boiling point.
2

Beat the egg yolk and sugar until pale yellow (as if to blanchir).
3

Add the sifted cornstarch or flour all at once.
4

Slowly add the rum and the heated milk with heavy cream. Mix them thoroughly.
5

Pass the mixture through a sieve, put it back in the small pot and simmer over low-medium heat.
6

Quickly mix with a spatula in the same way as making a custard cream.
7

When it starts to thicken, turn off the heat immediately (it's done when it drips slowly from the spatula).
8

Pour into the ramekins and sprinkle some granulated sugar on top. Take a metal spoon and hold it in a gas flame until hot.
9

When the spoon is heated, place it over the sugared top and move it around until it sizzles.
10

When you repeat this a few times, the sugar gets golden brown in color and forms a crispy top.
11

If you are serving them cold, you can enjoy the crispy top by following the processes after Step 8 once they are chilled.
