Crème Brûlée
Crème Brûlée: creamy, decadent, indulgent, delicious, and oh-so-simple to make right in your home kitchen. The french name and brûléeing (caramelizing) the sugar with a torch make people think that this dessert is more difficult to make than it is. My recipe will walk you through step-by-step. The only thing you have to worry about is how you are going to not eat each full ramekin yourself.
Ingredients
- 2 Cups Heavy Whipping Cream
- ⅛ teaspoon Salt
- 5 Egg Yolks
- ½ Cup Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°
- Pour heavy cream and salt into a sauce pan. Heat up slowly on the stove.
- While cream is warming, crack 5 eggs reserving the yolks in a mixing bowl.
- Add sugar to egg yolks and mix with a whisk.
- Remove warm cream from stove and mix in vanilla extract.
- Pour in ⅓ of the heavy cream mixture into the egg mixture and stir. Then, pour that egg and cream mixture back into the remaining heavy cream and stir.
- Pour mixture into 4oz-6oz ramekins and place them in a 9 X 13 baking dish.
- Pour water around the ramekins (in the baking dish) until water is half way up the ramekins. Carefully place the baking dish into the oven and bake for 35 minutes or until the middle is set.
- Let cool on the counter and then place in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours.
- Add 1 tablespoon of sugar on top and torch to make sugar caramelize. Enjoy!
