Crème brûlée is one of the most popular of current trending meals in the world. It is enjoyed by millions every day. It is simple, it is fast, it tastes yummy. They’re fine and they look fantastic. Crème brûlée is something which I’ve loved my whole life.
To get started with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can cook crème brûlée using 5 ingredients and 5 steps. Here is how you cook it.
The ingredients needed to make Crème brûlée:
- Make ready 500 ml cup heavy cream
- Make ready 1/2 cup caster sugar
- Make ready 1 vanilla pod
- Prepare 5 egg yolks (room temperature)*
- Make ready 1/2 tspn cold butter (to grease the ramekins)
I will never forget the first time I made Creme Brûlée because I was so astounded how easy it was. Part of the fun of Creme Brulee comes from the crispiness of the burnt top compared to the creaminess of the custard. When you burn the top and then re-refrigerate the custards, the top will become soft. A vanilla-scented, rich crème brûlée is deliciously decadent but completely easy to make - and make ahead if needed.
Instructions to make Crème brûlée:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees
- Place the cream, vanilla bean and its pulp into a medium saucepan set over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Once you see tiny bubbles appearing around the rim Remove from the heat, cover and allow to sit for 2minutes. Remove the vanilla bean and reserve for another use.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup sugar and the egg yolks until well blended and it just starts to lighten in color. Add the cream a little at a time, stirring continually. Strain the custard mixture to avoid any cooked eggs. Pour the liquid into 6 butter coated ramekins
- Place the ramekins into a roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake just until the creme brulee is set, but still giggles in the center, approximately 40 to 45 minutes. Remove the ramekins from the roasting pan set aside until it reaches room temperature cover with cling film and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 3 days
- Remove the creme brulee from the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes prior to browning the sugar on top. Lightly sprinkle the creme with sugar until the top is evenlly coated.Using a torch, brown the sugar and form a crispy top. Allow the creme brulee to sit for at least 5 minutes before serving.
While Crème Brûlée may be thought of as a fancy restaurant dessert, it can be made at home. For the richest flavor, though, I suggest using cream only. I'm adding Creme Brulee to my list of recipes that looks fancy and sophisticated (that caramelized sugar topping!
