Creme Brulee is a French dessert consisting of a rich and soft custard made with cream and yolks and topped with a crispy layer of caramelized sugar. It is really easy to prepare, you need only 4 basic ingredients and it takes only few minutes to prepare.
Ingredients
- Makes 4 servings
- 6 egg yolks, room temperature
- 1/2 cup (100g) sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp (7g) vanilla extract
- 2 cups (500g) whipping cream (35% fat)
- 4 tbsp (60g) sugar, for caramelizing the top
- Preheat oven to 300F (150C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks with sugar and vanilla until thick, creamy and pale yellow colored.
- Place the cream into a saucepan and heat until just begins to boil at the edges. Pour little at a time over egg yolks mixture while stirring continuously.
- Place 4 (8oz-220g) ramekins into a larger pan. For easier pouring transfer the mixture into a pitcher. Pour the mixture evenly into the ramekins. Place on the even rack and pour hot water into the pan until halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
- Bake for about 30-35 minutes until set and trembling into the center.
- Remove the ramekins from the hot water and let cool at room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Before serving spread 1 tbsp (15g) sugar on top of each ramekin. Use a torch to melt the sugar and create a crispy crust.
- Let it set for about 5 minutes before serving.
