Categories     dessert

Time 2h

Yield 5 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 extra-large egg
4 extra-large egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar, plus 1 tablespoon for each serving
3 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon orange liqueur (recommended: Grand Marnier)

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

We prefer turbinado sugar, a slightly refined sugar, for the topping, because it melts easily and forms a crisp, easily shattered cover.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups heavy cream
1 vanilla bean, halved lengthwise, or 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
6 large egg yolks
1/3 cup granulated sugar
Pinch of salt
3 tablespoons turbinado sugar, such as Sugar in the Raw
Special Equipment
6 (5-ounce) flameproof ramekins; a small blowtorch

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.

CLASSIC CREME BRULEE

My favorite dessert is this creme brulee recipe. Recently I was at a party where the guests finished off their own desserts "broiling" the sugar on their portions with a small torch. What a great idea! -Joylyn Trickel, Helendale, California

"DIAMOND" CREME BRULEE



A bunch of us were sitting around in the Gatehouse of the Residence Inn - Cedar Rapids (IA). One of the ladies was joking about turning her husband into a diamond when he died. We were trying to think of something with a REALLY high fat content that was high in calcium for better bone structure. Hence, Diamond Creme Brulee, all of the calcium and twice the fat!

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 egg yolks
1 whole egg
1 cup sugar
3 cups heavy cream
3 vanilla beans
1/4 lb butter
1 cup sugar (for Topping)

Steps:

  • Whisk together the eggs and sugar in a large Stainless Steel or glass bowl.
  • Place the bowl over a large 3 or 4 quart saucepan filled with simmering water.
  • With the heat on low, whisk the mixture vigorously and continuously until you can form ribbons. This is where you can lift the whisk out of the mixture, write your name, and it doesn't disappear for about 5 to 10 seconds. This can take as long as 30 minutes. My son and I used a Black and Decker Gizmo and it took about 15 minutes but was somewhat messy.
  • Slowly whisk in the cream.
  • Split and scrape the vanilla beans into the mixture. Put the vanilla beans in there too.
  • Stir often with the whisk until the mixture can coat a spoon with only a slow drip. It will be about the consistency of vegetable oil.
  • Remove the custard from the stove and whisk in the butter, one pat at a time.
  • When the butter is fully melted, strain the mixture through a sieve and transfer it into ramekins or custard cups. Be sure to leave about ½ inch for the last step. You can transfer it into a bowl and chill first before putting it in ramekins.
  • Place in refrigerator until cold.
  • Remove the cups from the refrigerator and sprinkle sugar on top until it is about 1/8 inch thick.
  • Heat the tops of the custard with a kitchen torch until the sugar is caramelized. (I've heard you can do this in a broiler, but I've never tried. The torch is too much fun.).

VANILLA CRèME BRûLéE



Vanilla Crème Brûlée image

Five simple ingredients - cream, vanilla, salt, eggs and sugar - make for an exquisitely rich and elegant dessert. Most crème brûlée recipes require the use of a small propane torch to achieve the crackly sugar top, but this version offers a simpler (and safer) solution: your oven's broiler. One thing to note: Be sure to let the custard set for several hours in the refrigerator before brûléeing the top, otherwise you'll end up with soupy custard.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups heavy or light cream, or half-and-half
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise, or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
5 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar, more for topping

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. In a saucepan, combine cream, vanilla bean and salt and cook over low heat just until hot. Let sit for a few minutes, then discard vanilla bean. (If using vanilla extract, add it now.)
  • In a bowl, beat yolks and sugar together until light. Stir about a quarter of the cream into this mixture, then pour sugar-egg mixture into cream and stir. 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.
  • When ready to serve, top each custard with about a teaspoon of sugar in a thin layer. Place ramekins in a broiler 2 to 3 inches from heat source. Turn on broiler. Cook until sugar melts and browns or even blackens a bit, about 5 minutes. Serve within two hours.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • To create a smooth custard, temper the eggs by slowly whisking them into the hot cream mixture.
  • For a perfectly caramelized sugar topping, use a kitchen torch to evenly brown the sugar.
  • Let the crème brûlée chill for at least 4 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Serve the crème brûlée immediately after caramelizing the sugar topping to enjoy the contrasting textures.

Conclusion:

The Diamond Crème Brûlée is a luxurious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any special occasion. With its creamy custard filling and caramelized sugar topping, this dessert is sure to impress your guests. Follow these tips to ensure your crème brûlée turns out perfectly every time.
