- 6 large egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- Equipment: 8 (4- to 5-ounce) ramekins
- Accompaniment: whipped cream
Instructions

- Preheat oven to 300 °F with rack in middle. Line a roasting pan with a folded kitchen towel and put ramekins on towel.

- Cool custards on a rack, uncovered, about 1 hour, then chill, covered, until cold, at least 3 hours.
PCOS-Friendly Foods in This Recipe
This recipe contains the following foods that may benefit PCOS management: Cinnamon.
Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly.
