Preparation
Step 1
Heat cream almost to boiling. In bowl, whisk together egg yolks, 1/4 cup (50 mL) sugar and vanilla until blended. Gradually whisk in hot cream.
Step 2
Pour into four 3/4-cup (175 mL) ramekins. Place in shallow baking pan. Pour hot water into pan to come halfway up sides of ramekins. Bake in 350F (180C) oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until custard is set. Remove from water; let cool, then refrigerate until well chilled, at least 2 hours.
Step 3
Before serving, sprinkle top of each custard evenly with remaining sugar. Place under preheated broiler (or use blowtorch) until sugar melts and turns dark golden brown. Chill for at least 10 minutes or up to 3 hours (any longer and the sugar may soften). Makes 4 servings.
With divinely rich, smooth custard under a crackly burnt-sugar topping, creme brulee remains one of the most popular desserts on restaurant menus. It's not difficult to make at home if you have a really hot broiler, or even better, a small blowtorch like chefs use for melting the sugar. For a variation, place a few fresh raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, peach slices or pieces of candied ginger in the ramekins
before pouring in the custard.
