Ingredients
- 1 quart (liter) heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 egg yolks
- ¾ cup (120g) candy corns
- 1 tablespoon water
- ½ cup (100g) white sugar, plus extra for topping

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (180 degrees C).
- Bring the cream, half the sugar and the vanilla to a boil in a pot.
- Take it off the heat.
- Whisk the egg yolks with the rest of the sugar until the mixture is light.
- Add ¼ of the cream gradually into the egg yolk mixture, stirring all the time.
- Add the remaining cream and mix well.
- Pour just under half the mixture into a glass bowl and repeat in another bowl, so you have about ½ cup (125ml) of the mixture left.
- Simmer the water and candy corns in a pan until they melt.
- Use a wooden spoon to help break them up if necessary.
- Take the pan off the heat and cool the mixture for 5 minutes.
- Add a few drops of food coloring to one of the brûlée batches and mix it in.
- Pour the yellow mixture into 4 small jars.
Note: You will be serving the desserts in these jars so use matching ones if you have them.
- Pour the other mixture into other oven-safe jars or bowls similar in size.
- Next pour the candy corn mixture into the reserved brûlée mixture and stir it in.
- Pour this into jars.
Keep going!
- Put all the jars in a roasting pan and add a couple inches of water.
- Now you need to cook them for 45 minutes or until the desserts are almost set but still jiggly in the middle.
- You can put the yellow brûlée jars in the freezer for 20 minutes at this point, and let the rest cool on the countertop.
- Pour the orange layer from each jar over the yellow layer, then freeze for 20 minutes.
- After that, repeat with the white layer.
- Refrigerate the desserts for 2 hours.
- Let them sit at room temperature for half an hour, then sprinkle the sugar on top and use a kitchen torch to caramelize it.
- You want to get the top crispy and golden brown.
Notes
- If you’re making these for Trick or Treaters, use disposable cups instead of glass jars
