Method
Preparation and Caramelization
- 1
Prepare the Custard
In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, milk, and 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is hot but not boiling. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and your choice of flavoring.

Bake
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Remove from the oven and let them cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Caramelize the Sugar
Once the custards are chilled, sprinkle a thin layer of granulated sugar on top of each custard. Using a kitchen torch, caramelize the sugar until it forms a crispy shell. If you don’t have a torch, you can place them under a broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.

Serve
Top each crème brûlée with a dollop of whipped cream and serve immediately.
