Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Corn Mixture

    In a saucepan, combine the sweet corn kernels and heavy cream. Heat over medium heat until it just starts to simmer. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Blend the Corn

    Using an immersion blender or regular blender, blend the corn and cream mixture until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove any solids, pressing down to extract as much liquid as possible.

  3. 3

    Mix the Custard

    In a bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined. Gradually mix in the strained corn mixture until fully incorporated.

  4. 4

    Prepare for Baking

    Preheat your 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.

  5. 5

    Bake the Custards

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until the custards are set but still slightly jiggle in the center. Remove from the water bath and let cool to room temperature.

  6. 6

    Caramelize the Sugar

    Once cooled, sprinkle an even layer of brown sugar on top of each custard. Using a kitchen torch, carefully caramelize the sugar until it forms a crispy top. Alternatively, you can place them under a broiler for a few minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.

  7. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Let the brulees sit for a few minutes to harden. Garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving. Enjoy your Hudson corn creme brulee!
