Crème Brûlée Ingredients

Method

Crème Brûlée Directions

1

Prepare the Cream Mixture

In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream and split vanilla bean over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, then remove from heat and let it steep for 15 minutes.

2

Mix Egg Yolks

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and pale.

3

Combine Mixtures

Remove the vanilla bean from the cream mixture and slowly pour the warm cream into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to avoid curdling.

4

Bake the Custards

Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Pour the mixture into ramekins and place them in a baking dish. Fill the 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.

5

Chill the Custards

Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

6

Caramelize the Sugar

Before serving, sprinkle a thin layer of brown sugar over the top of each custard. Using a kitchen torch, caramelize the sugar until it forms a crispy crust.

7

Serve with Fruit

Garnish with seasonal fruit before serving. Enjoy your delicious Crème Brûlée!
