This was very easy! If I knew how easy I`d be 300 pounds now!! My cat even liked it! I do have to get myself a torch! -
The heavy cream was cloying. I generally use half and half for my creme brulee, and don't end up with 101.2 g fat per serving. Would be good otherwise. -
It was an easy recipe. People that want diet food should probably avoid creme brulee for a desert choice. My family and friends loved this dish. I will continue to make this recipe. I highly reccommend it to anybody that loves rich deserts. -
I have made this twice now and believe the secret to perfection of flavor is my own homemade vanilla made with good bourbon. I also used white sugar to mix with the eggs and used raw sugar or turbinado sugar to brulee, which I find much easier than any other sugar. I also find that baking at 300 provides a smoother texture and better control. Great recipe.
