2. In large bowl, with wire whisk or fork, mix egg yolks with sugar until blended. Slowly stir in warm cream until well mixed. Evenly pour mixture into eight 4 oz. ramekins or 2 1/2 qt. shallow casserole.

3. Place ramekins in large roasting pan with hot water to come halfway up sides of ramekins or casserole. Bake cream mixture 1 hour and 10 minutes or until just set (mixture will be slightly soft in center). Remove ramekins from water in roasting pan; cover with foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate until well chilled, about 2 hours.

4. About 1 - 2 hours before serving, preheat broiler, with rubber spatula, press brown sugar through coarse sieve evenly over top of chilled cream mixture; broil 3 - 4 minutes just until sugar melts. Refrigerate until ready to serve. The melted sugar will form a shiny, crisp crust when chilled. Serve the dessert within 2 hours or the sugar crust will loose its crispness, Serves eight.
