Crème Brûlée Base
Method
Preparation
Prepare the Crème Brûlée Base
In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream and half of the granulated sugar over medium heat until it starts to steam. Remove from heat.
Mix Egg Yolks
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, remaining granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and orange zest until well combined.
Combine Mixtures
Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture while whisking continuously to temper the eggs.
Add Brandied Oranges
Fold in the brandied oranges gently.
Chill
Remove from the oven and let them cool at room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until chilled.
Caramelize Sugar
Before serving, sprinkle a thin layer of granulated sugar on top of each custard and use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it forms a crispy crust.
Serve
Garnish with tangerine segments and whipped cream before serving.
