Ingredients
Base Custard-
- 5 egg yolks
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups cold heavy whipping cream
- 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
Creme Brulee Topping-
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- raspberries for decor
- mint for decor
Instructions
Make Base Custard-
- Preheat your oven to 325°F. Prepare your ramekins in a 9x13 baking pan.
- Whisk together the egg yolks and sugar in a bowl.
- Add the heavy whipping cream into the saucepan. Cook over medium/low heat to bring the milk to a low simmer. Remove from the heat and add in the vanilla extract.
- Slowly pour the hot heavy whipping cream into the egg yolk mixture while whisking as you pour, you have to temper the eggs or they will scramble. Continue until all the heavy cream is combined with the egg yolks.
- Pour the custard filling into ramekins, distribute among all the ramekins and add to a rimmed baking pan or roasting pan.
Bake and Serve-
- Fill the baking pan with boiling water around the ramekins, until half of the ramekins are covered in the water.
- Slowly add the baking pan into the oven, avoiding spilling the water into the custard. Bake at 325°F for about 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set.
- Once the creme brulee is done remove from the oven and allow to cool completely, about 2 hours.
- Top the cooled creme brulee sugar and torch until caramelized. Top with fresh berries and mint and serve.
