Crème Brûlée is a classic French dessert made of cream, egg yolks and sugar finished with a thin lid of crisp roasted sugar.

85 g Sugar
4 Egg yolks
Vanilla pods
ml Whipped cream
100 ml Whole milk
1 tbsp Sugar

Instructions

Step 1

  • Stir together egg yolks, sugar and vanilla with a spoon. Then stir the cream and milk into the egg mixture.

Step 2

  • Sieve the mixture and distribute it in 4 ovenproof dishes. Place the dishes on a baking tray and place them in the middle of the oven. Bake for 50 minutes at 125 °.

Step 4

  • Place the Crème Brûlées in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours - without covering them.

Step 5

  • Sprinkle the Crème Brûlées with sugar and burn them with a gas burner until the sugar is melted and has darkened in colour. Serve immediately.

Recipe tips

It’s often the small details that make the biggest impact in the kitchen, so we’re sharing the tips we rely on when cooking and creating recipes

The Crème Brûlées should not start to bubble / boil when baking. Make sure you can turn down the heat if this occurs - because your oven may be hotter than the set temperature. It must have a ""smooth"" surface. Instead of using a gas burner, you can place the Crème Brûlées in an ice-cold water bath - preferably with ice cubes. Sprinkle with sugar and grill them at the top of the oven until the sugar is melted and golden - keep an eye out, because colour can change quickly. Take them out and serve immediately.
