Description

Crème brûlée is an elegant French dessert, whose name means 'burnt cream'. Beneath the crunchy, caramelized crust lies a velvety, vanilla cream made from egg yolks and cream. The contrast of textures - the crunch of sugar and the smoothness of the cream - is the essence of this dessert. The key is the right consistency of the cream, which must be thick enough but still creamy, and the perfect caramelization of the sugar with a torch or under the broiler. This dessert looks spectacular, and with a little practice, it is surprisingly simple to prepare.

Preheat the oven to 150°C. Prepare 6 ramekins and a water bath dish.

2

Slice the vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Add to the cream along with the pod.

Ingredients: Vanilla beans, 36% cream
3

Heat the cream until bubbles appear at the edge. Do not boil! Set aside for 15 minutes.

4

In a bowl, beat the egg yolks with 70g of sugar and a pinch of salt until they lighten in color (about 3 minutes).

Ingredients: White sugar, Salt

Slowly pour the warm cream into the egg yolks, stirring constantly. Strain through a sieve.

6

Pour the cream into the ramekins. Place them in a dish and fill with hot water halfway up the sides of the ramekins.

7

Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the cream is set but slightly jiggly in the center. Cool and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

Before serving, sprinkle with a thin layer of sugar and caramelize with a torch or under the grill until golden.

Tips

🍽️ Serving

Serve crème brûlée in elegant ceramic ramekins. It tastes best chilled, with a crispy, caramelized crust on top. You can decorate it with fresh fruits, such as raspberries or strawberries, for an extra flavor accent.

🥡 Storage

Store leftover crème brûlée in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or in airtight containers, for up to 3 days. Freezing is not recommended as it may affect the texture. Caramelize the sugar fresh before serving.
