- Whisk together two egg yolks, the vanilla extract and the almond extract in a bowl until well combined.

- Pour the egg yolk mixture slowly into the cream mixture, whisking the entire time.
- Distribute the mixture evenly between two ramekins.
- Place the ramekins in a casserole dish with a bit of water in the bottom, creating a water bath.

Notes
If you don’t have a kitchen torch, the sweetener can be browned by placing the cups under the broiler on high. Can be served with sliced fruit and whipped cream.
