Preheat the oven to 325°F.
Heat heavy cream and vanilla extract in a sauce pan over a medium heat until it slightly starts to simmer. Turn off the heat and put the mixture aside.
In a mixing bowl beat together egg yolks and granulated sugar for a few minutes until it has thicker consistency and pale color.
Gradually, a little at a time, add cream and vanilla mixture to the eggs until well combined, constantly stirring.
Divide the mixture between 4 ramekins and place them into a large baking pan. Pour hot water into the pan, covering ¾ of the ramekins.
Bake at 325°F for about 50-60 minutes until Crème Brûlée is set but slightly trembling in the center.
When Crème Brûlée is done, remove it from the baking pan, cool off for 10 minutes, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Before serving, sprinkle granulated sugar over the Crème Brûlée, and using a blow-torch, brown the sugar to a crispy top. Enjoy!
