Description

Crème Brûlée is a creamy custard dessert with a caramelized sugar crust. Whisk egg yolks, sugar, vanilla and heavy cream. Bake in a water bath, cool and chill.

Ingredients
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla (extract)
  • 4 tsp brown sugar (for caramelizing)
Instructions
  1. Prepare the Custard Base

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

    Whisk 4 egg yolks and 1/4 cup of sugar, until the mixture becomes pale and thick.

  2. Heat the Cream

    Gently heat 1 cup of heavy cream until it’s just below boiling point. Do not let it boil.

    Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit for a minute.

  3. Combine and Strain

    Gradually pour the hot cream into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to avoid curdling.

    Stir in 1 tsp of vanilla extract.

    Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into another bowl to remove any lumps.

  4. Bake the Custard

    Divide the custard mixture evenly among the ramekins and place them in a baking dish.

    Fill the baking dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.

    Bake for 40–45 minutes or until the custards are set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

  5. Chill and Caramelize

    Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

    Before serving, sprinkle 1 tsp of brown sugar evenly over each custard.

    Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it forms a crisp, golden-brown crust.

    Tip: For best results, serve the Crème Brûlée immediately after caramelizing the sugar for a deliciously crunchy top layer.
