Serves:
Ingredients
- 4 egg yolks
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 2 cups of heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons of granulated sugar (for caramelizing)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
-
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until well combined and slightly thickened.
-
Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat.
-
Gradually pour the hot cream into the egg mixture, whisking constantly, until well combined.
-
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any lumps.
-
Divide the custard evenly among four ramekins.
-
Place the ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with hot water, about halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
-
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly wobbly in the center.
-
Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature.
-
Refrigerate the custards for at least 2 hours, or until chilled.
-
Just before serving, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar evenly over each custard.
-
Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it forms a golden brown crust.
-
Let the Crème Brûlée sit for a minute to allow the melted sugar to harden before serving.
