We recently went to our friend's house for a fancy dinner. It was so much fun! And can you believe it, when it was time for dessert, they pulled out one of my all-time favorites? crème brûlée! This light and delicious dessert isn’t hard to make and it’s a crowd favorite!
Best Crème Brûlée Recipe:
3 C Heavy Cream
1 ½ tsp of Vanilla
¼ tsp Salt
¾ C Sugar
8 Large Egg yolks
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 325°F.
Beat the egg yolks and sugar in a large bowl until the mixture is light and smooth.
In a saucepan, combine the cream and salt and heat over low to medium heat just until hot (but not boiling).
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla.
Slowly whisk about 1 cup of the hot cream into the egg mixture to temper the eggs. Then, gradually whisk in the remaining cream.
Pour the mixture into ramekins and place them in a baking dish.
Carefully fill the baking dish with hot water, about halfway up the sides of the ramekins (be careful not to get water inside the ramekins).
Bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is still a little jiggly.
Remove from the oven and let the ramekins cool. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to 3 days.
When ready to serve, sprinkle a thin layer of sugar on top and melt it with a kitchen torch until the sugar caramelizes. If you don’t have a torch, you can broil in the oven, but keep a close eye on it to avoid burning the sugar.
Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
The crème brûlée should come out looking like this. Done around the edges and a little jiggly in the middle!
When you’re ready to serve, sprinkle sugar over the top and use a torch to caramelize! Yum! Just be careful to not burn the sugar. A crunchy top is what we’re going for.
There is nothing like the “tap tap tap” when diving into this dessert! It is so delicious that your only regret is that it’s maybe considered inappropriate to lick the ramekin clean! Haha
I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine’s Day with your loved ones! Don’t forget to go out and give your flocks some extra love this week too! Mine chickens prefer Happy Tract or Golden Graze! 😊
Until next time,
