Creme Brulee

Silky vanilla custard with a thin, crackling caramelized sugar top. The contrast between the cold, creamy custard and the warm, crispy crust is unbeatable.

Ingredients

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 325F. Heat cream with the scraped vanilla bean seeds (or extract) until it just starts to simmer. Don't let it boil.

2

Whisk egg yolks and sugar until pale. Very slowly pour the hot cream into the yolks while whisking constantly to temper them. Strain through a fine mesh sieve.

Tip: Pour the cream in a thin stream. Too fast and you'll scramble the eggs.

3

Divide among 4 ramekins placed in a deep baking dish. Pour hot water into the dish until it comes halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake 40-45 minutes until the custard is set but still jiggles slightly in the center.

4

Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate at least 4 hours. When ready to serve, sprinkle 1 tbsp superfine sugar on each. Torch with a kitchen torch until caramelized and crackling.
