Instructions

1.
Prepare the ramekins: Lightly grease four ramekins with butter or cooking spray.
2.
Combine ingredients: In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the Jersey cream, egg yolks, caster sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth. Be careful not to overwhip.
3.
Pour into ramekins: Divide the cream mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins.
4.
Steam the cream: Fill a saucepan with about 1-2 inches of water and bring to a simmer. Place a steamer basket or insert into the saucepan, ensuring the water does not touch the bottom of the ramekins. Carefully place the ramekins into the steamer.
5.
Cover and steam: Cover the saucepan tightly with a lid and steam for 25-30 minutes, or until the cream is just set. A slight wobble in the center is fine.
6.
Chill: Carefully remove the ramekins from the steamer and let them cool to room temperature. Then, cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill completely.
7.
Serve: Before serving, run a thin knife around the edges of the ramekins to loosen the cream. Invert each ramekin onto a serving plate. If the cream doesn't release easily, dip the bottom of the ramekin briefly in warm water.
8.
Garnish: Top the steamed cream with fresh mixed berries and dust with icing sugar (optional).

Chef's Tips

For a richer flavor, use double Jersey cream.

Ensure the water in the saucepan doesn't touch the bottom of the ramekins to prevent uneven cooking.

Adjust steaming time depending on the size of your ramekins.

If you don't have a steamer, you can bake the ramekins in a water bath (bain-marie) at 300°F (150°C) for about 40-50 minutes.
