topcook.tomathouse.com

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cups of sugar
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 0.5 cup dark brown sugar

Preparation:

  1. Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F). Heat the cream and vanilla in a medium saucepan until it comes to a boil. Remove from heat and let sit for 10 minutes. In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks with sugar until pale yellow. Fold the cream into the egg mixture and pour into 6 ovenproof molds.
  2. Place the molds in a larger baking dish lined with a towel. Pour boiling water into the larger dish until it reaches halfway up the small molds.
  3. Bake for 30 minutes or until the custard is set but still jiggly.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Sprinkle each serving evenly with brown sugar and place the molds in the oven under the broiler to broil until the sugar melts. Serve the crème brûlée at room temperature.
