  • Step 3
    Whisk the sugar, salt, and egg yolks together until the sugar is dissolved.

    Temper the egg mixture by slowly pouring in the heavy cream, whisking continuously. Once all the cream is in, add the vanilla paste and white truffle oil
  • Step 5
    Pour into the ramekins. Pour water into the baking pan around the ramekins, halfway up the sides to the middle of the ramekins. Place in the oven.
