This Creme Brulee recipe is an easy yet impressive dessert to serve. It features a creamy vanilla bean custard crowned with a caramelized burned sugar topping that makes it simply irresistible.
– Heavy cream
– Long vanilla bean (split and scraped)
– Egg yolks
– Granulated sugar
– Salt
– Superfine sugar
– Fresh berries and mint (for garnishing)
This is a great recipe to make in advance as it requires a lot of chill time. However, the caramelized topping should be done right before eating, no sooner.
If you do not have a kitchen torch, use your oven. Do not preheat it. Put the creme brûlée in the oven and then turn on your broiler. Watch it very closely. It only takes a few minutes to brown.
