Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 egg yolks
1 cup sugar, divided
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 tablespoon instant coffee
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.

  • In a second medium-size bowl, add coffee and 1/4 cup creme. Whisk thoroughly until smooth, then add remaining creme and whisk until well blended. Add coffee creme mixture and vanilla to egg yolks. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold together.
  • Use a ladle to pour mixture into individual ramekins, 3/4 of the way to the
  • top.
  • Place ramekins into a roasting pan. Transfer to oven. Before closing oven
  • door, pour water into pan (but not into the ramekins themselves!) until it
  • reaches 1/2 way up the side of the ramekins.
  • Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until when you shake the pan, the brulee giggles slightly. Remove from oven and leave out on counter, allowing the residual heat of the water to finish the cooking process.
  • When brulees have fully solidified and cooled down, sprinkle 1 1/2
  • tablespoons of sugar evenly overtop each individual portion. Under a watchful eye, use a small blowtorch to caramelize the sugar.
  • Alternatively, place ramekins 1-inch below oven broiler until sugar caramelizes.

Yield Makes 8 servings

4 cups whipping cream
1 cup plus 8 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons coarsely ground espresso coffee beans
2 teaspoons instant espresso powder or coffee powder
1 cinnamon stick
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
6 large egg yolks
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Place eight 3/4-cup custard cups in large roasting pan. Combine cream, 1 cup sugar, ground espresso beans, instant espresso powder and cinnamon stick in heavy large saucepan.
