Creme brulee recipe

18th June 2013 par a French girl cuisine 6 Comments

Creme brulee recipeCreme brulee recipe is really close to the Catalane custard. French, Spanish and English also discusted the true origine of the creme brulee and never agreed. However the first written record of the creme brulee in the seventeen century was French.

Making creme brulee can be a bit exhausting and many restaurant are making an egg custard more than a real creme brulee.That’s a shame but they are just trying to save some time. I found the recipe below on aftouch cuisine. I adapted it and reduce the quantity, but it doesn’t remove any of the flavour of this delicious creme brulée. I would advise to prepare your custards one day before so the creme has enough time to thicken.

Ingredients
  • 5 egg yolks
  • 110 gr. of sugar (1 cup + 1tbsp or 4 oz)

  • ½ vanilla pod
  • 6 teaspoons of brown sugar
Instructions

  3. Sieve to remove extra bubulle and pour into individual creme brulee ramekins. Bake for 1h15. Custards will be just set at this point, the middle will still be moving dangerously. That's totally normal. This is during the cooling process that the custards will solidify.
  4. Leave to cool in your kitchen few hours and refrigerate 1 hour or even one night. I usually make mine one day before.
  5. When ready to serve, add one teaspoon of brown sugar and caramelize with a blowtorch.
