⭐ Why You’ll Love This Cr猫me Br没l茅e

  • Restaurant-style dessert made at home.
  • Simple ingredients – eggs, cream, sugar, and vanilla.
  • Make ahead – prepare the custard in advance and caramelize just before serving.
  • Elegant & timeless – adds a touch of sophistication to any meal.

馃 Ingredients (Serves 4)

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 5 large egg yolks
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (plus 4 tbsp for topping)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract (or 1 vanilla bean pod, split and scraped)
  • Pinch of salt

馃懇‍馃嵆 Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Custard

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  • In a saucepan, heat heavy cream and vanilla until warm (do not boil).
  • In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, and salt until pale and creamy.
  • Slowly pour the warm cream into the egg mixture, whisking continuously to prevent scrambling.

Step 2: Bake the Custard

  • Strain the mixture through a fine sieve for a smooth texture.
  • Pour into ramekins and place them in a baking dish.
  • Fill the baking dish with hot water halfway up the ramekins (water bath).
  • Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the custard is set but slightly jiggly in the center.

Step 3: Chill

  • Remove ramekins from water bath and let cool.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 4: Caramelize the Sugar

  • Just before serving, sprinkle 1 tbsp sugar evenly on top of each custard.
  • Use a kitchen torch to melt the sugar into a golden, glass-like crust.
  • If you don’t have a torch, place under a hot broiler for 1–2 minutes (watch carefully).

馃嵈 Serving Suggestions

  • Serve with fresh berries for a refreshing contrast.
  • Add a sprig of mint for a touch of elegance.
  • Pair with coffee, tea, or champagne for a luxurious experience.
