Ingredients

• one egg yolk
• two tablespoons of sugar
• one cup of reduced fat milk you can use heavy cream but trust me this works just perfect

Directions

Get a small sauce pan on medium heat and put in your sugar to start to caramelize. Same time microwave or heat up the milk to just before boiling.

Once the sugar has a nice amber color to it add the hot milk and start whisking until it is nicely dissolved and a perfect cafe creme color.

Now beat your egg yolk and slowly add in a little bit of the milk whisking while your doing it add a little more at a time until you have the entire mixture in.

Now I like to use tea light cups  as they are the perfect size for this very rich dish and make a great serving vessel. Pour in the mixture until almost to the top and place them on a pan that has sides high enough to pour water in to at least a 1/3 of the way up. Now cover with foil to prevent a skin forming and into a 300 degree oven for 30-40 min. Check around 20 min the sides should be firm and the center a little wobbly that is when you know they are done.

Take out let cool to room temp before chilling. Serve with a little whip cream and chocolate shavings or some nice mint or basil.

The best thing I ever did with one egg yolk!

Enjoy
