Preheat your oven to 325°F (162°C).
Pour the heavy cream into a saucepan. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape the seeds into the cream. Add the bean pod to the cream as well. Heat over medium until it comes to a simmer, then remove from heat and let the vanilla infuse for about 15 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until well blended and slightly thickened.
Remove the vanilla bean pod from the cream and slowly pour the cream into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.
Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a large bowl, skimming off any foam or bubbles.
Divide the custard mixture evenly among ramekins, filling them about 3/4 full.
Place the ramekins in a large baking pan and carefully pour hot water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins (water bath).
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the custards are set but still slightly wobbly in the center.
Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 3 days.
When ready to serve, sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of sugar evenly over the surface of each custard. Use a kitchen torch to melt the sugar and form a crispy top. If you don't have a torch, you can place the ramekins under a broiler for a couple of minutes to caramelize the sugar.
Allow the Crème Brûlée to sit for a few minutes before serving to let the sugar harden into a delicious, crackable top.
