No Torch Lavender Creme Brulee
Report
Lavender Crème Brulee brings together the crunchy melted sugar topped custard of a standard crème brulee with the subtly floral, spring-like flavor of lavender.

Ingredients
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 ½ cup whipping cream see note

Instructions
- Heat oven to 325°F. Place 6 (4-oz) ceramic ramekins in 13x9-inch pan.
- Cut vanilla bean in half lengthwise, then scrape out seeds. Place seeds and pod in a small saucepan with cream, skim milk and sugar and heat until just below boiling, stirring to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat, add lavender and let sit until mostly cool.
- In small bowl, slightly beat egg yolks with wire whisk. Add cooled cream mixture and stir until well blended. Strain into a pouring vessel. Pour cream mixture evenly into ramekins. The lavender buds will strain out, but I like to add some back (6-12/dish) for extra flavor and texture.
- Carefully place pan with ramekins in oven. While in oven, pour enough boiling water into pan, being careful not to splash water into ramekins, until water covers half to two-thirds of the height of the ramekins.
- Bake 25 to 40 minutes until the center of the custard is set but jiggly (it’s okay if sides are jiggly too as long as the center is set)
- Carefully remove ramekins—I found that lifting with a hamburger turner worked best. Refrigerate until chilled, approximately 2 hours (longer is okay if you wish).
- Sprinkle about 1 1/2 teaspoons of brown sugar over each chilled custard. Place under pre-heated broiler to brown. Refrigerate until rechilled, 1-2 hours
Notes
- This will keep a few hours in the refrigerator but the topping will become soft if left overnight. Should this occur, you can blot away the moisture with a lint free cloth, add new brown sugar and broil again to recrisp.
