Creme Brulee
"This is one of my favorite dishes, I love Creme Brulee! I hate it when some restaurants just make a pudding and caramelize the top on it. I like a real one!"
- Ready In:
- 24hrs 30mins
- Ingredients:
- 6
- Yields:
-
6 ramekins
- Serves:
- 6
ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup light brown sugar
- 4 cups heavy cream
- 1 vanilla bean, split
- 1⁄2 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 6 large egg yolks
directions
- Spread the brown sugar on a small plate and place uncovered in a dry spot for at least 24 hours or until sugar is quite dry. Push through a fine sieve and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350.
- In medium saucepan, hat the cream and vanilla bean over medium heat for apx 3 min until warm.
- In a bowl whisk the 1/2 cup sugar with the egg yolks until well blended. Whisk in the cream and then strain into 6 ramekins.
- Put ramekins in a pan and add enough hot water to the pan to come halfway up the ramekin.
- Bake 30 min or until set (a knife inserted in the center comes out clean). The custard will still be soft - do not overcook!
- Transfer ramekins to wire rack to cool at least 30 minute.
- Preheat the broiler.
- Sprinkle the dried brown sugar over the top of the ramekins. Set under broiler for about 15 seconds to melt and caramelize the sugar. Watch carefully to not burn or char the sugar.
- Serve immediately.

I love trying new recipes and once a month cooking (though I don't do it as often as I'd like). I am absolutely getting hooked on the tag games!
Thank you to everyone who has tried my recipes, I hope you're liking them as much as my family does!
My favorite magnet is one I got from my MIL that has a bunny hopping around saying I'm to busy to be organized. Story of my life. I have three great kids who are growing up way too fast, I'm not ready for empty nest syndrome. I married a wonderful man in 2009 who took me to Alaska on our honeymoon, It was one of the top two places I've always wanted to visit (not one he really had a desire to go to). Next year he's taking me to the other one he and I both want - Australia. Guess I like places that start with A's.
