Easy Crème Brûlée
This Easy Crème Brûlée is super easy without compromising on taste. With only four ingredients, this recipe is a must try!
Ingredients
- 2 cups whipping cream
- 5 egg yolks
- ½ cup granulated sugar plus more for topping
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F.
- In a medium saucepan, heat whipping cream on low until steaming (almost a simmer). Remove whipping cream from heat and whisk in vanilla.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk egg yolks and sugar until until fluffy thick consistency is achieved.
- Very gradually add warm whipping cream, whisking constantly. *If hot cream is mixed in too quickly, it will scramble your eggs. You don’t want that.
- Strain mixture though a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding whatever is left in the sieve. Divide mixture into 6 (6oz) ramekins and place in a large baking dish.
- Fill the baking dish with boiling water, until water is about halfway up the sides of ramekins.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until the centers are nearly set (but still jiggly). Carefully transfer ramekins to cooling rack. Once completely cooled, cover and transfer to refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours.
- Once you’re ready to serve, sprinkle each with 2 teaspoon of granulated sugar. Moving in a circular motion, torch the top with a handheld torch until surface is caramelized.
- Serve and enjoy!
