Equipment

  • 4 crème brûlée ramekins
  • 1 large glass dish
  • 1 Kitchen torch

Ingredients
 
 

  • 4 egg yolks
  • 50 g sugar
  • 200 ml milk
  • 220 g of whipping cream min 30 % fat,
  • 1 vanilla pod
  • 4 teaspoons of brown sugar

Instructions
 

Step 1: The vanilla cream

  • Preheat the oven to 140 ° C (regular oven, no convection!).
  • Pour the milk into a saucepan. Using the tip of a knife, split the vanilla pod and scrape the vanilla pod to collect the vanilla seeds. Add the vanilla seeds to the milk.
  • Heat the milk and bring to cook for a few seconds only. Then remove from the heat and add the liquid cream.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the sugar and egg yolks. Then pour the mixture into the saucepan. Whisk everything together for a minute.

Step 2: Baking

  • Then place the ramekins in a large glass dish. Pour hot water into the dish up to ¾ of the height of the ramekins.
  • Pour the cream into the ramekins up to ¾ also.
  • Place the glass dish in the oven and bake in a water bath in the oven for 40 minutes.

Step 3: The caramel crust

  • Then let the crèmes cool. Before serving, drop a teaspoon of brown sugar in each ramekin. Spread the sugar well over the entire surface.
  • Light the torch and burn the brown sugar. Serve directly or reserve the crèmes brûlées in the fridge.
