  6. espresso and mix well.
  7. Meanwhile In a blender, add the egg yolks and granulated sugar and a pinch of salt. Blend the egg yolk mixture for 2 minutes and gradually temper the egg mixture with the hot milk and cream (Add the hot milk and cream mixture very gradually through the blender lid and while the blender is on the entire time)
  8. Evenly divide the mixture among all the ramekins.

  15. When ready to serve, sprinkle the extra sugar evenly over the 6
  16. ramekins and using a blow-torch, caramelize each top until golden
  17. brown and bubbly (alternatively you can broil the chilled custards but
  18. keep an eye on them rotating as needed to avoid burning).
