Crème brûlée

Here’s a simple and delicious crème brûlée recipe:

Ingredients

• 4 egg yolks

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar (plus extra for caramelizing)

• 2 cups heavy cream

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

2. Prepare Custard:

• In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar until pale and creamy.

• In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it’s hot but not boiling (you’ll see small bubbles around the edge).

• Slowly pour the hot cream into the egg yolk mixture while whisking constantly to temper the eggs. Stir in the vanilla extract.

3. Bake the Custards:

• Pour the mixture into 4 small ramekins.

• Place the ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with hot water halfway up the sides of the ramekins.

• Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

4. Cool and Chill:

• Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature.

• Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight).

5. Caramelize the Sugar:

• Before serving, sprinkle a thin layer of sugar evenly over each custard.

• Use a kitchen torch to melt and caramelize the sugar until golden and crisp. If you don’t have a torch, you can broil them in the oven for 2-3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.

6. Serve:

Let the caramelized tops cool for a minute, then serve immediately.

Enjoy!
