Ingredients for 6 servings:
- 550 ml sweet cream
- 150 ml milk
- 120 g sugar
- 1 vanilla pod(s), halved, without the pulp
- 8 egg yolks
- 3 stalks of lemongrass

Instructions
Working time approx. 25 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour 25 minutes
Slice the lemongrass lengthwise and simmer gently with the cream, milk, sugar, lime zest, and vanilla pod (the pulp can be used for another purpose) for about 12 minutes. Then strain through a fine sieve and chill. Beat the egg yolks until smooth and mix with the flavored cream mixture. Fill small timbale molds about 70% full. Cook in a water bath in a preheated oven at approximately 120°C (top/bottom heat) for about 45-60 minutes. Allow to cool. Sprinkle with brown sugar and caramelize it with a blowtorch (or under the oven broiler if necessary). Serve immediately.
