Easy Creme Brulee Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 5 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup or so of light brown sugar.
Directions:
I've tried many recipes. All ended in yuckness. Granted, I'm no master
chef. I'm sure those other recipes work fine if you really know what
you're doing. But I don't want to have to go to culinary school. I
just want a creme brulee. So I'm talking to my mother on the phone
tonight, as I'm about to embark on another creme brulee experiment,
and she mentions, "Oh, well, your Aunt Carol makes a great creme
brulee; it's always good."
So I called up Aunt Carol, got the recipe, gave it a shot, and what
do you know? Perfect. So unless you're a master chef, return that
double-boiler, forget about scalding the cream, don't fret about scrambling
your eggs. Just follow this easy recipe for a creamy, great-tasting
creme brulee:
Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Whisk the cream, egg yolks, sugar, and
vanilla extract together in a bowl. Mix it all up until it gets nice
and creamy. Pour this mixture into ramekins (those little ceramic
dishes). I got it evenly distributed between 4 7-ouncers. I suppose
you could pour it all into one smallish casserole dish too. Place
the ramekins in a baking pan Fill the baking pan with hot water, about
halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Place the pan with the ramekins
in the oven for 45 minutes to an hour or so. After 45 minutes or so
check them every ten minutes. You'll know they're done when you can
stick a knife in one and it comes out clean. Remove the ramekins from
the baking pan, set them on the counter, and let them cool for 15
minutes or so.
Then put them in the refrigerator and let them chill overnight.
Sprinkle a thin layer of the light brown sugar on the top of each.
Make sure it's a THIN layer, but also make sure it completely covers
the custard. Now torch it! Or, if you don't have a torch, you can
supposedly put them under the broiler for a minute or so. I haven't
tried this. [I got my wife one of those little kitchen torches for
Christmas at Williams-Sonoma for about 25 bucks. It's fun!] The point
is, you need to caramelize (melt and let harden) the sugar.
Anyway, that's it. They came out just right the first time. Easy.
And they tasted GREAT. The consistency was perfect. Enjoy!
