Ingredients
1¼ cups sugar
¼ cup water
1¾ cups whipping cream
½ cup whole milk
6 large egg yolks

Directions
⏰ Can be made up to two days ahead:
Preheat oven to 325°F and position rack to center.
Place 6 (⅔ cup) soufflé dishes or ¾ cup custard cups in large roasting pan.
 
Combine sugar and water in heavy saucepan.
Stir over low heat until sugar dissolves.
Increase heat; boil without stirring until deep amber, occasionally brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush and swirling pan, about 6 minutes.
Gradually whisk in 1½ cups whipping cream and milk (mixture will bubble vigorously).
Stir until caramel dissolves, almost 2 minutes.
 
Beat yolks in large bowl until foamy.
Gradually whisk in warm caramel.
 
Strain into 4-cup glass measuring cup.
Divide among dishes.
 
Pour enough hot water into pan to come halfway up sides of dishes.
Cover pan with foil.
Bake until custard is just set at edges, but still moves in center when shaken gently, about 1 hour.
 
Remove from water; cool on rack.
 
Chill until cold, at least 2 hours (can be made 2 days ahead, cover and keep chilled).
 
⏳ When ready to serve:
Beat ¼ cup cream in small bowl until soft peaks form.
Spoon cream into pastry bag fitted with large star tip.
Pipe 1 rosette in center of each custard.
Serve chilled.
Servings
Makes 6 individual servings in ⅔ cup soufflé dishes or ¾ cup custard cups
