Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cardamom Sugar

    In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and cardamom pods. Heat over low flame until the sugar begins to melt slightly and the cardamom aroma is released. Remove from heat, allow to cool, and then grind to a fine powder.

  2. 2

    Blend the Avocado Mixture

    In a blender, combine the ripe avocados, white chocolate (melted), heavy cream, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.

  3. 3

    Combine and Pour

    Pour the avocado mixture into ramekins, filling them about 3/4 full. Place the ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with hot water to create a water bath.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for about 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly jiggly.

  5. 5

    Cool and Chill

    Remove the ramekins from the water bath and allow to cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

  6. 6

    Caramelize the Sugar

    Before serving, sprinkle a thin layer of the cardamom sugar over the top of each crème brûlée. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until golden and crispy.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Allow the crème brûlée to sit for a minute after caramelizing the sugar, then serve immediately.
