Ingredients

Method

Directions

1

Prepare the Cream Mixture

In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to steam. Do not let it boil. Remove from heat and stir in the Frangelico and vanilla extract.

2

Whisk the Egg Yolks

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.

3

Combine Mixtures

Slowly pour the warm cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to avoid cooking the eggs.

4

Strain the Mixture

Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup or bowl to ensure a smooth custard.

5

Bake the Custard

Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Pour the custard into 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 custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

6

Chill the Custard

Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Then, refrigerate for at least 2 hours to fully set.

7

Caramelize the Sugar

Once the custard is chilled, sprinkle a thin layer of brown sugar over the top of each ramekin. Using a kitchen torch, caramelize the sugar until it is bubbly and golden brown. If you don’t have a torch, place the ramekins under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.

8

Serve

Let the caramelized sugar cool for a minute before serving. Enjoy your Frangelico Crème Brûlée!
