Serves:
Ingredients
- 2 cups of low-fat milk
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 4 teaspoons of brown sugar
- Fresh berries, for serving
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Place 4 ramekins in a baking dish.
-
In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until hot but not boiling. Remove from heat.
-
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and egg yolks until well combined.
-
Gradually pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
-
Stir in the vanilla extract. Skim off any foam from the surface.
-
Divide the custard mixture evenly among the ramekins.
-
Carefully pour hot water into the baking dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins, creating a water bath.
-
Bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
-
Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature.
-
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to chill and set.
-
Just before serving, sprinkle an even layer of brown sugar on top of each custard.
-
Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until golden and bubbly. If you don’t have a torch, you can place them under the broiler for a few minutes.
-
Serve the crème brûlée immediately with fresh berries on top.
