Classic Crème Brûlée
Ingredients
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons white sugar
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar, divided
Instructions
1
Collect all the necessary components for preparation.
2
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
3
Combine the cream and three tablespoons of sugar in a microwave-safe container using an electric mixer until they blend seamlessly.
4
Heat the mixture in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes, or until it reaches a warm temperature; whisk again to fully incorporate the sugar.
5
Mix in the egg yolks and vanilla extract until you achieve a smooth consistency.
6
Transfer the cream mixture to two ramekins placed in a roasting pan.
7
Add enough hot water to the pan so that it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
8
Bake in the preheated oven until the custard is fully cooked but still slightly wobbly when gently shaken, approximately 50 minutes.
9
Carefully remove the ramekins from the hot water and refrigerate them until they reach a chilly temperature, at least two hours.
10
Sprinkle one tablespoon of sugar evenly over the top of each dessert.
11
Use a kitchen torch to melt and lightly toast the sugar topping until it turns brown and bubbly, approximately 30 seconds.
12
Allow the sugar topping to cool completely before serving.
