Cappuccino Crème Brûlée
Report
Creamy and luxurious, with a brittle caramelized topping that is oh so fun to break through, this Cappuccino Crème Brûlée is just the perfect excuse to gather a handful of coffee lovin’ girlfriends together.

Ingredients
- 3 T. Kahlúa
- 1 T. pure vanilla extract
- 4 tsp. instant espresso powder
- 2 c. heavy whipping cream
- 6 large egg yolks
- ⅓ c. firmly packed brown sugar
- ¼ tsp. cinnamon
- 6 tsp. raw sugar
- freshly whipped and lightly sweetened cream
- cinnamon
- Chocolate covered coffee beans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 275° F.
- Pour Kahlúa and vanilla into a small to medium sized bowl. Add espresso powder and whisk until dissolved. Stir in cream.
- In a medium bowl, briskly whisk the egg yolks until pale in color, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1/3 cup brown sugar and cinnamon, and whisk until sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes. Gently whisk in the cream mixture, just until combined.
- Place 6 small oven safe coffee cups (mine have a 1 cup capacity) in a baking pan. Divide the cappuccino custard mixture evenly between the 6 cups, allowing at least ¼’’ of head space for the sugar topping. Pour warm water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the cups.
- Bake in the oven for 60 to 65 minutes, or until center of each custard still jiggles just slightly. Remove from the oven and lift the cups from the hot water. Let cool for about 20 minutes on the counter, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 2 days.
- When ready to serve, place the cups on a baking sheet. Evenly sprinkle 1 teaspoon raw sugar over each custard. With a hand-held torch, caramelize the sugar until it is browned evenly. Serve with a small dollop of freshly whipped cream, a dusting of cinnamon, and a chocolate covered coffee bean or two.
- Note: If using a more standard shaped dish for crème brûlée, one that is wider and allows the custard to be shallower, baking time will need to be lessened and adjusted accordingly. You will also want to add more raw sugar to the top of the baked and cooled custards, as the surface area is larger than when using the coffee cups.
Notes
- Adapted from my family’s favorite Almond Vanilla Bean Créme Brûlée.
