In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream and brewed coffee over medium heat until just simmering. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.

Prepare the Cream Mixture

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

Mix the Egg Yolks and Sugar

Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture while whisking constantly to prevent curdling. Once combined, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup.

Combine and Cook

Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Pour the custard mixture 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 custards are set but still slightly wobbly in the center.

Bake the Custards

Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

Chill the Custards

When ready to serve, sprinkle a thin layer of brown sugar on top of each custard. Using a kitchen torch, caramelize the sugar until it melts and forms a crispy crust. If you don’t have a torch, place the ramekins under a broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.

Caramelize the Sugar

Let the caramelized sugar cool for a minute before serving. Enjoy your Crème brûlée au café!
