Ingredients
Custard
- 6 egg yolks
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2½ cups heavy whipping cream
Topping
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla, until smooth.
- Add the heavy cream to a medium pot and cook over low heat until almost boiling. Remove from heat. Pour a small amount of the hot cream into the egg yolk mixture and quickly mix until combined. Pour the egg yolk mixture into the cream, and mix until combined.
- Divide the custard mixture between 5 (6-ounce) ramekins. Place the ramekins in a large baking dish, and fill the dish with hot water to about halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the custard only jiggles slightly when shaken. Remove from the oven and let cool in the water bath for 15 minutes, then move to the refrigerator to cool completely.
- After the custard has cooled, preheat the broiler on high. Place the ramekins on a baking pan and sprinkle the sugar evenly over the top of each custard. Broil for 3-4 minutes, watching closely, until browned and bubbling. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Why is my creme brulee runny? Two main reasons that a creme brulee doesn’t set properly is because it was undercooked, and/or not chilled long enough.
- Prep ahead of time. Bake them 1-2 days ahead of time, do not add the sugar topping. Cover and keep them in the fridge until ready to broil the sugar topping and serve.
- Store. Cover the leftovers with plastic and refrigerate for 3-4 days.
