Meanwhile, whisk together the egg yolks. Strain the heavy cream into a container to remove the lavender
Slowly pour the cream mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly
Pour into 4 oz. ramekins and place in a roasting pan

To serve, sprinkle the top of each custard with 1 teaspoon of brown sugar.
Set the oven to broil and place the custards on the highest oven rack 10-15 seconds until sugar is caramelized. Be careful not to let them burn!
To make the whipped cream, combine all ingredients in a bowl and whip with an electric mixture until soft peaks form
Allow to cool and refrigerate overnight
