Prep and Cook Time:
⏱️ Prep Time: 20 minutes
🔥 Cook Time: 45 minutes
🕰️ Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
Ingredients:
– 2 cups heavy cream
– 1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped
– 5 egg yolks
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 tsp salt
– 2 tbsp brown sugar (for caramelizing on top) 🔥
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream and vanilla bean (both the seeds and the pod) until it just starts to simmer. Remove from heat.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, and salt until smooth.
4. Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
5. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pouring jug.
6. Divide the mixture among ramekins placed in a baking dish. Add hot water to the baking dish to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.
8. Remove from the water bath and let cool, then chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
9. Just before serving, sprinkle a thin, even layer of brown sugar on top of each crème brûlée.
10. Caramelize the sugar using a kitchen torch or under the broiler until golden and crispy.
11. Enjoy the creamy, velvety goodness of your homemade crème brûlée! 🌟
