Enjoy the goodness of Vanilla Crème Brûlée – a classic French dessert that's easy to whip up at home. Creamy, vanilla-infused, with a sweet, crunchy caramel top. Simple, nostalgic, and utterly delicious!
Ingredients (for 8 people):
- 500 ml heavy cream
- 100 g sugar
- 6 egg yolks
- 6 tablespoons brown sugar or cane sugar
- 1 vanilla bean
- Ramekins and kitchen torch
Recipe Steps:
- Cut the vanilla bean in half to extract the seeds.
- Heat the cream gently with the vanilla bean, allowing it to infuse (at least 30mn).
- Vigorously beat the egg yolks and sugar, adding the vanilla seeds to obtain a foamy mixture.
- Gradually pour the warmed and filtered cream onto the egg/sugar mixture, stirring continuously.
- Preheat the oven to 160°C.
- Place the cream in the ramekins and bake in a water bath for 30 to 35 minutes; the cream should jiggle like a custard.
- Remove from the oven, place the creams in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
- Sprinkle a layer of sugar on top and caramelize it with your kitchen torch.
Bon appétit!
