Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325°
In a medium saucepan heat to medium-high heat combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1/4 cup water. Cook over med-high heat. Stir until the sugar has dissolved.
Continue to cook without stirring until the syrup turns a golden color. About 8 minutes. CAREFULLY add the half&half while stirring constantly. Keep stirring until the mixture is smooth. Then set aside.
In a stand mixer or medium bowl/hand mixture whisk the egg yolk, 1/2 cup sugar, salt, and vanilla. Whisk until it is a pale yellow color and thick.
Now add the caramel while whisking on low-med speed. Mix then turn off. Skim off the foam.
Pour the mixture into four 6oz ramekins. Place the ramekins into a large baking dish. (I use a 3 quart baking dish)
Pour HOT water into the baking dish, filling until it goes half way up the ramekins.
Cover loosely with foil then transfer to the oven. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the custard is cooked but slightly wobbly.
While the custards cook you can make the mousse
Let them cool a bit then remove from baking dish and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
To serve, scoop some of the mousse on top of the custard and spread around. Sprinkle with toffee bits and garnish with fresh berries.
