Crème brûlée is a rich and creamy custard topped with a layer of caramelized sugar. It is a classic French dessert that is perfect for any special occasion.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 5 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- In a medium saucepan, heat heavy cream and sugar over medium heat until sugar dissolves.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl, whisk egg yolks until light and fluffy.
- Gradually whisk in warm cream mixture, then stir in vanilla extract.
- Pour custard into six 6-ounce ramekins.
- Place ramekins in a baking dish and pour enough hot water into the baking dish to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Remove ramekins from the baking dish and let cool on a wire rack for 1 hour.
- Sprinkle each ramekin with 1 tablespoon of sugar.
- Using a kitchen torch, caramelize the sugar until it is golden brown.
- Serve immediately.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use whole milk in place of heavy cream.
- To make a vanilla bean crème brûlée, use 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and scraped. Add the bean and seeds to the cream mixture and simmer for 5 minutes before removing from the heat.
- To make a chocolate crème brûlée, add 1/2 cup of melted chocolate to the custard mixture.
Enjoy!
Here are some other tips for making a delicious crème brûlée:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
- Don't overcook the custard. Overcooking can make it tough.
- Let the custard cool completely before caramelizing the sugar. This will help prevent the sugar from melting.
- Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar. A broiler can also be used, but it will take longer to caramelize the sugar.
