There is something very sexy about a crème brulee so use this recipe when impressing the pants off of someone is on the menu (you take that as literally as you want).
Recipe:
400ml cream
3 egg yolks
1 whole egg
1/3 cup caster sugar
1 vanilla bean
Whisk the egg yolks and sugar until sugar starts to dissolve.
Split your vanilla bean and scrape out all the wonderful seeds, put the vanilla seeds, empty pod and cream into a saucepan and heat until it just starts to boil.
Take the cream off the heat, pour it straight into the egg and sugar mix and start whisking.
Whisk the mixture so that it’s all nicely mixed through and remove the empty vanilla pod.
Pour the mix into 4 ramekins. Put your filled ramekins into a baking dish and pour boiling water into the baking dish until it comes about half way up the side of the ramekins. Bake at 160 degrees for about 25-30 mins or until custard just wobbles when you gently agitate the ramekin. Set the custards in the fridge for 10-15 mins (it’s best to let them get back to room temp before you serve though) sprinkle the top with a little extra caster sugar and get out your blow torch.
This is my blow torch and yes it does say FAT BOY on it, that’s what you get when you get your boyfriend involved with kitchen purchases........ Hence, my blow torch came from Bunning’s and I am yet to run out of gas!
Enjoy
