What You’ll Need
For this scrumptious treat, gather these ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 5 large egg yolks
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar (for that perfect caramelized topping)
Let’s Get Down to Business!
Now that we’ve got everything, let’s whip this up:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Get that ambiance right!
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Stir it occasionally until it’s hot but not boiling, then remove from heat.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until it’s all blended well.
- Slowly pour the hot cream into the egg mixture while whisking continuously. You want it to mix well without scrambling those eggs!
- Once mixed, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl or measuring cup to get a silky smooth consistency.
- Divide the mixture evenly among your ramekins. Place the ramekins in a baking dish, and carefully pour hot water into the baking dish around the ramekins, about halfway up the sides.
- Bake for about 40-45 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is still a little jiggly. Remove from the oven, and let them cool before chilling in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
- When you’re ready to serve, sprinkle a thin layer of brown sugar on top of each custard. Using a kitchen torch, carefully caramelize the sugar until it’s melted and bubbly. If you don’t have a torch, you can broil them in the oven for a minute or two, just keep an eye on it!
- Let them cool for a minute, and then serve it up! Can you smell that? Delicious!
This Easy Classic Crème Brûlée is not just dessert; it’s a showstopper! Perfect for holidays, family gatherings, or just because you deserve a treat. Enjoy every creamy bite, and watch those smiles light up the room!
