Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 300°F.
2.	In a medium saucepan, heat heavy cream over medium heat until bubbles start to form around the edge.
3.	In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and Irish cream liqueur until well combined.
4.	Add about 1/4 of the hot cream to the egg mixture and whisk until smooth. Repeat with the remaining cream, whisking well between each addition.
5.	Strain the mixture through a sieve into a large measuring cup with a spout.
6.	Divide the mixture evenly among six 5 oz. ramekins.
7.	Place the ramekins in a large baking dish and fill it with enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
8.	Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the custard is set but still jiggly in the center.
9.	Let the ramekins cool down before refrigerating for at least 2 hours.
10.	When ready to serve, sprinkle the top of each custard with a thin layer of superfine sugar and use a torch or broiler to caramelize the sugar until golden brown and crispy.
