Ingredients
- 200 ml double cream
- 100 ml Arla Organic Free Range Milk
- 4 egg yolks
- 50 g sugar plus extra for the crunchy topping
- 1 vanilla pod
- Shortbread strawberries and mint leaves to serve (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 140C / 120C fan / gas mark 1 / 275F.
- Warm the milk, cream and vanilla in a small saucepan to approximately 60C / 140F (don’t let it boil), and remove from the heat.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and 50g of sugar until thoroughly combined.
- Remove the vanilla pod and then slowly whisk the warm cream and milk mixture into the egg mixture.
- Pour into 4 small jam jars (or ovenproof ramekins).
- Prepare a ‘bain marie’, by filling a roasting tray with about 1-2cm of boiling water (the water should come about half way up the crème brûlée).
- Carefully place the jam jars into the prepared bain marie and cook in the oven for about 20-22 minutes or until just set. Leave to cool.
- Once cool, sprinkle the Crème Brûlée with a thin, even layer of sugar, and caramelise under a very hot grill (or use a blowtorch), until you have a hard golden topping. Leave the sugar for 5 minutes to set before serving.
- Serve with strawberries, mint and shortbread biscuits.
