Ingredients
- 1 quart heavy cream divided
- 1 1/2 Vanilla Beans split and scraped
- 1 cup sugar divided
- 6 large egg yolks
- Fresh berries for garnish
Instructions
- Put cream, and split, and scraped vanilla bean into a medium saucepan set over medium-high heat, and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, until slightly cool. Remove the vanilla bean. (The vanilla bean can be used again)
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup sugar and the egg yolks until well blended.
- Add the warm cream a little at a time, stirring constantly. Pour the mixture into 6 (7 to 8-ounce) ramekins.
- Place the ramekins into a large cake pan or roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
- Bake just until the creme brulee is set, but creamy and not runny in the center, approximately 45-50 minutes.
- Remove the ramekins from the roasting pan and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Remove the ramekins from the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to browning. Divide the remaining 1/2 cup vanilla sugar equally among the 6 dishes and spread evenly on top. Using a small kitchen torch, melt the sugar and form a crispy top.
- Garnish with fresh berries.
