Ingredients
  

  • 9 Egg Yolks
  • 3/4 cup White Granulated Sugar
  • 2.5 cup Whipping Cream
  • 1.5 tsp Vanilla Extract or 1” Piece of Vanilla Bean
  • 2 tbsp Bourbon
  • 6 tbsp Turbinado Sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Whisk egg yolks, white granulated sugar, bourbon, and vanilla in a mixing bowl until combined.
  • Bring the whipping cream up to a slight boil in a small sauce pot. (Once the edges begin to bubble it is done, you do not want a rolling boil.)
  • Slowly add a bit of the cream to the eggs while whisking the eggs. This tempers the eggs and keeps them from turning into scrambled eggs.
  • Equally divide and pour the custard into souffle dishes. Do not fill to the top, leave a little bit of space.
  • Arrange the dishes into a large roasting pan. Add boiling water to the pan, enough to come half way up the sides of the dishes.
  • Bake for thirty minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and remove the dishes from the pan and allow to cool to room temperature. Place in the refrigerator overnight.
  • Sprinkle 1T of turbinado sugar overtop of each dish then shake side to side to spread the sugar evenly.
  • You can either broil the souffles for ten minutes or carefully use a torch to gently burn the sugar. Let rest for five minutes then serve.
