Suggested wine pairing
Reserve Late Harvest Riesling

Yield: 10 portions
1      L heavy cream

sugar to caramelize

Method: Preheat oven to 325ºF. Blanch vanilla, sugar and yolks until pale and ribbon stage. Heat cream to just under boil and temper yolks, slowly adding a little at a time. Be careful not to stir to cause foam to form on the surface. Strain custard through a sieve. Carefully pour into ramekins and bake in a bain marie until set. Let cool and sprinkle an even coating of sugar over top and caramelize with a blow torch or under a salamander. Serve with Rhubarb Compote.
