Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Corn Mixture

    In a blender, combine the corn kernels and heavy cream. Blend until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any solids.

  2. 2

    Mix the Custard

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined. Gradually add the strained corn mixture to the egg mixture, whisking continuously until smooth.

  3. 3

    Bake the Custards

    Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Divide the custard mixture among 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 30-35 minutes or until the custards are set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

  4. 4

    Cool and Chill

    Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let cool to room temperature. Once cooled, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Topping

    Before serving, spread a thin layer of granulated sugar over the top of each custard. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until golden and crispy.

  6. 6

    Serve with Toppings

    Top each crème brûlée with a dollop of blueberry jam and a sprinkle of grated white chocolate. Serve immediately.
