- Add heavy cream and your chosen sweetener, mixing until well blended.
- Stir in egg yolks and vanilla extract for uniform consistency.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared dish.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, checking with a toothpick to ensure it comes out clean.
- Allow the bars to cool completely before refrigerating for a few hours to set.
Topping
- Spread granulated sweetener evenly over the top of the bars.
- Using a kitchen torch, caramelize the sweetener until golden and bubbly, or place it under a broiler while keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
- Let the bars cool again before slicing into squares.

For variations, consider adding fruit toppings, sea salt, or cinnamon. Ensure your ingredients are at room temperature for a smooth batter. Store the bars properly in the fridge, and they can last up to a week.
