How to make it:

See full ingredients & instructions in the recipe card below!

Step 1. This custard is baked in ramekins that are sitting in a water bath, so you want to start by heating the oven to 325 degrees F. and bringing a kettle filled with water to boil.

Next, add heavy cream to a saucepan and bring to a simmer. While the cream is heating, add sugar, vanilla extract, maple flavoring and egg yolks to a bowl.

Step 2. Whisk the mix until it is nice and creamy.

Step 3. Very slowly pour the hot cream into the egg mix, whisking continuously.

Step 4. Set five 2-ounce ramekins into a baking pan, then divide the custard evenly among them.

Pour hot water into the baking pan, about half-way up the outside of the ramekins. Carefully transfer the baking pan into the oven and bake until the custard is set and no longer jiggly (25 to 35 minutes).

Take the ramekins out of the hot water bath, let the custard cool completely, then cover and refrigerate for at least one hour.

How to serve it:

Sprinkle chopped hazelnuts on the custard and serve cold.

Recipe notes & tips:

• The required bake time can vary a lot depending on a number of different factors, such as altitude, accuracy of oven temperature and shape of the ramekins. I recommend you start checking the custard for doneness after 25 minutes.
