Beat the egg yolks and sugar until thick and pale, ten gradually whisk in cooled cream mixture until combined.

To serve, scatter tops of ramekins evenly with sugar and caramelise sugar using a blow torch or by placing under a very hot grill. Serve with El Fantastico! El Chico Churros dusted with icing sugar.
