Ingredients

6 large	plums, pitted, quartered
350 ml	whipping cream
120 ml	milk
3 tbsp	icing sugar
50 g	butter
6 large	eggs, yolks only
70 g	caster sugar
	Demerara sugar, for topping

Instructions

Heat the cream and milk until scalding. Allow to cool.

Heat a non-stick frying pan until hot. Toss the plums with the icing sugar, then place into the hot pan in a single layer. Cook on medium heat until they start to caramelise. Stir in the butter and cook for a few minutes more. Remove from heat and divide plums between six ramekins.

Reheat the cream.

In another bowl, beat the egg yolks until a pale yellow.

Heat the oven to 150°C.

Combine the hot cream with the egg yolks, whisking well. Then whisk in the sugar.

Divide this mixture between the cups over the plum mixture.

Bake for about 45-50 minutes until lightly set on top. The mixture thickens when cooling. Chill until required.

When firm, sprinkle each cup with a teaspoon of demerara sugar and caramelise the top with a blowtorch. If you do not have a blowtorch, place ramekins under a hot grill until sugar has caramelised. However, the custard may get warm again as well which can be avoided when using a blowtorch.
