Best 9 Crème Brûlée Napoleon With Bourbon Crème Anglaise Recipes

CREME BRULEE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the egg, egg yolks, and 1/2 cup of the sugar together on low speed until just combined. Meanwhile, scald the cream in a small saucepan until it's very hot to the touch but not boiled. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the cream to the eggs. Add the vanilla and orange liqueur and pour into 6 to 8-ounce ramekins until almost full.
• Place the ramekins in a baking pan and carefully pour boiling water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the custards are set when gently shaken. Remove the custards from the water bath, cool to room temperature, and refrigerate until firm.
• To serve, spread 1 tablespoon of sugar evenly on the top of each ramekin and heat with a kitchen blowtorch until the sugar carmelizes evenly. Allow to sit at room temperature for a minute until the caramelized sugar hardens.

CLASSIC CRèME BRûLéE

Steps:

• Put a rack in the middle of oven and preheat oven to 325°F.
• Pour cream into a 2-quart heavy saucepan. Using tip of a knife, scrape seeds from vanilla bean, if using, into cream and add pod (if using vanilla extract, do not add it yet). Heat cream over moderate heat until hot but not boiling; remove from heat and discard pod.
• Whisk together yolks, granulated sugar, and salt in a medium bowl until well combined. Add hot cream in a slow stream, whisking constantly until combined. Pour custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl and whisk in vanilla extract, if using. Ladle custard into ramekins.
• Arrange ramekins in a roasting pan and add enough boiling water to pan to reach halfway up sides of ramekins. Bake until custards are just set, 25 to 30 minutes. With tongs, transfer custards to a rack to cool, then refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 4 hours.
• Just before serving, sprinkle turbinado sugar evenly over custards. Move blowtorch flame evenly back and forth close to sugar until sugar is caramelized. Let stand until sugar is hardened, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Variation:
• Coffee Crème Brûlée: Stir 1 1/2 tablespoons instant espresso powder into the hot cream and proceed as directed.

BOURBON VANILLA CRèME BRûLéE

Steps:

• Add egg yolks to a bowl and beat with an electric mixer on high speed until eggs are thick and light yellow, about 5 minutes. Gradually beat in 1/4 cup sugar and vanilla bean paste.
• Pour cream in the top of a double boiler over simmering water and simmer until just hot to the touch, about 3 minutes. Pour half of the warmed cream into the egg mixture, a little at a time, whisking constantly so eggs do not curdle.
• Pour egg yolk-cream mixture into the remaining cream in the double boiler.
• Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously, until mixture thickens, 8 to 10 minutes. Do not let mixture boil.
• Pour custard into 4 small ramekins and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours, up to 24 hours.
• Sprinkle each crème brûlée with some of the remaining tablespoon of superfine sugar.
• Use a blowtorch to melt the sugar on top of the crème brûlée. It will crystallize as it hardens. Alternatively you can use the oven broiler, but be careful to not burn the sugar.
• Lightly tap the crystallized sugar with the back of a spoon to break it before eating.

CRèME BRûLéE NAPOLEON WITH BOURBON CRèME ANGLAISE

Steps:

• To make the custard: Preheat the oven to 325 F. In the metal bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a balloon whip, combine the egg yolks and sugar and beat lightly. Add the cream and scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean into the eggs with the tip of a knife. Continue to beat until thickened. Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a shallow pan that has been filled with plastic wrap. Place the pan containing the custard into a larger pan. Fill the bottom pan halfway with water, being careful not to wet the custard, and set in the preheated oven to bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the custard is set and firm to the touch. (A cake tester inserted into the center should come out clean without any milky residue.) Remove from the oven and refrigerate until cool. Place in the freezer for 20 minutes. Preheat the broiler or ready a blowtorch. Invert the custard onto the back of a sheet pan, and cut into 2- inch squares. Sprinkle the squares liberally with sugar and brown under the broiler or with a blowtorch. To prepare the phyllo pastry: Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line an inverted baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Place 1 sheet of phyllo dough on the baking sheet. (Keep the remaining dough covered with a towel to keep it moist.) Lightly brush the phyllo sheet with melted butter, sprinkle with the confectioners' sugar, and top with another sheet of phyllo. Brush again with the melted butter and sprinkle with more sugar. Place a second sheet pan on top and weight it down with a cast- iron skillet or any heavy ovenproof object. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown. To make the bourbon crème anglaise: In a medium heavy saucepan whisk the egg yolks over the low heat until they are pale in color. Whisk in sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, then continue to whisk until the mixture reaches the consistency of cake batter. Whisk in the milk and vanilla bean, if using, then stir continuously with a wooden spoon until the custard coats the spoon and a line drawn down the back of the spoon remains visible. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the bourbon, and remove the vanilla pods. If the custard is to be chilled, press a sheet of plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming, or dot the top with bits of optional butter. Chill the custard for up to 2 days. To assemble the napoleon: In the center of each serving plate place a square of crème brûlée (custard) and top with a phyllo square. Repeat the procedure until the napoleons are stacked 4 layers high. Ladle the crème anglaise around the napoleons and garnish with fresh berries and mint sprigs

Pour into four 6-ounce ramekins and place ramekins in a baking dish; fill dish with boiling water halfway up the sides of the dishes. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until centers are barely set. Cool completely. Refrigerate for several hours and up to a couple of days.

• Make an ice bath by filling a large bowl halfway with ice cubes and water.
• In a saucepan, bring the milk almost to a boil over medium heat. In a second saucepan, blend together the egg yolks, sugar, and salt with a wooden spoon until thick and light (be careful not to make the mixture foamy). Mix in half the hot milk, then transfer the mixture to the other saucepan with the remaining milk and blend. Add the bourbon.
• Decrease the heat to low and simmer gently, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Continue stirring the custard until thick enough to coat the back of the spoon and the mixture reaches 180°F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove from the heat.
• Set a sieve over a large, clean bowl and pass the custard through the sieve.
• Place the bowl in the ice bath, and stir the custard until it has completely cooled. Lay a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Store the custard in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
