Ingredients
Crème Brûlée:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 vanilla bean , cut in half lengthwise (or 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste)
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 6 egg yolks
To Finish:
- 1/2 cup sugar
- Kitchen torch
Instructions
- In a heavy bottomed pot add the heavy cream, whole milk and vanilla bean.
- Bring to barely a simmer, then turn off the heat and let sit for 20 minutes (if using vanilla bean, remove the bean).
- Heat oven to 300 degrees.
- To your stand mixer add the 1/3 cup sugar and egg yolks.
- Beat on medium for 3 minutes, raise to high speed.
- Beat for 3 minutes until eggs have lightened in color and create a ribbon.
- Add in the heavy cream mixture while beating on low speed in a very slow stream.
- Add the cream mixture to four Crème Brûlée ramekins.
- Place the dishes in a shallow pan, add the pan to the oven.
- Carefully pour water in the pan (make sure water doesn't splash into the ramekins) until the water comes up about halfway the side of the ramekins.
- Cook for 35-40 minutes until the center is just set (it should jiggle similar to the center of a cheesecake).
- Carefully remove the ramekins from the pan avoiding getting water in them.
- Let cool completely, then refrigerate for four hours.
- Thirty minutes before serving, let ramekins warm to room temperature.
- Sprinkle on the remaining 1/2 cup sugar (2 tablespoons per ramekin) evenly.
- Using a kitchen blow torch carefully torch the top of the sugar (the flame should be barely touching the top of the Crème Brûlée) in either a zig zag or circular pattern.
- Serve immediately with a small spoon, if it sits the sugar will soften again preventing the cracking effect.
