🔥 Crème Brûlée Recipe 🍮

Indulge in the creamy, caramelized delight of Crème Brûlée with this easy-to-follow recipe!

Ingredients 📝

• 2 cups heavy cream 🥛
• 1 vanilla bean, split and scraped (or 1 tsp vanilla extract) 🍦
• 5 large egg yolks 🥚
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar 🧂
• Extra sugar for caramelizing 🔥

Instructions 👩‍🍳

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and prepare a baking dish with hot water for a water bath. 💧
2. Heat the cream and vanilla bean in a saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. 🍶
3. Whisk the egg yolks and sugar in a bowl until pale and thick. Slowly pour the warm cream into the egg mixture while whisking constantly. 🥄
4. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any lumps, then pour it into ramekins. 🥣
5. Place the ramekins in the baking dish and pour enough hot water into the dish to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. 🛁
6. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Remove from the water bath and let cool. ❄️
7. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. 🕒
8. Sprinkle an even layer of sugar on top of each custard. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it’s golden brown and crisp. 🔥
9. Serve immediately and enjoy the crunchy, creamy perfection! 😋
