Time 4h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

7 large egg yolks
6 tablespoons granulated sugar, plus 6 teaspoons, divided
2 cups heavy cream
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup water
fresh berry, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and 6 tablespoons of sugar until well combined.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the heavy cream, vanilla, and salt. Warm to 165°F (75°C), whisking occasionally to prevent a film from forming on top. Remove the pot from the heat.
  • Temper the egg yolk mixture by pouring a small amount of the warmed cream mixture into the yolks and whisking to combine. Repeat with 3 more small additions, then mix in the remaining cream. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large liquid measuring cup with a pour spout.
  • Pour the cream mixture into 6 1-ounce ramekins, filling each about ¾ of the way. Release any air bubbles on the surface by gently tapping with a spoon.
  • Cover each ramekin tightly with aluminum foil.
  • Pour the water into the Instant Pot, then set the ramekins inside. Pressure cook on low pressure for 13 minutes. Allow the pressure to release naturally for 15 minutes, then release the remaining pressure. Carefully transfer the ramekins from the Instant Pot to a wire rack to cool slightly, about 20 minutes.
  • Chill the crème brûlées uncovered in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  • When ready to serve, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of sugar evenly on top of each crème brûlée. Using a kitchen torch, brûlée the tops for about 1 minute each, or until sugar begins to bubble and turn dark golden brown. Let crème brûlée sit for about 5 minutes before serving.
  • Garnish with berries of choice, then serve.
  • Enjoy!

INSTANT POT CREME BRULEE



Instant Pot Creme Brulee image

Creme brulee made the old-fashioned way using the stove-top and oven seems like such a chore when you can make it more quickly and easily (but with equally delicious results!) in an Instant Pot®. No need to worry about curdled eggs here either because cooking on low pressure for just eight minutes yields a perfectly set custard every time.

Time 13h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 vanilla bean
1 1/3 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
5 large egg yolks, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Split the vanilla bean in half lengthwise using a paring knife, then use the back of the knife to scrape out the seeds. Reserving the pod, put the seeds and cream into a small saucepan. Whisk to combine, then set over medium heat and cook until tiny bubbles just start to form around the edges, about 5 minutes, whisking occasionally. Pour the mixture into a medium bowl and allow to cool for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the reserved vanilla-bean pod and 2 tablespoons of the sugar in a small bowl. Use your fingers to rub the pod and sugar together to remove the residual vanilla seeds and distribute them evenly throughout the sugar. Set the vanilla sugar aside.
  • Whisk the remaining 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar and the salt into the cream mixture until combined and the mixture is completely cool. Whisk in the egg yolks until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve set over a 2-cup liquid measuring cup. This will help achieve a silky smooth result.
  • Divide the mixture among four 4-ounce heat-proof ramekins (each about 3 inches in diameter) and cover the tops tightly with foil.
  • Pour 1 cup water in the bottom of a 6- or 8- quart Instant Pot®. Place the steamer rack in the pot and arrange the ramekins in a snug single layer on the rack. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set the pot to pressure cook on low for 8 minutes (see Cook's Note).
  • After the pressure cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for natural release. After 15 minutes, being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid.
  • Remove the foil from the ramekins and allow to cool for 20 minutes. Then refrigerate until completely cooled and set, at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours.
  • When ready to serve, sprinkle the top of the desserts with the vanilla sugar (discard the vanilla-bean pod or add to more sugar for future use). Use a kitchen torch to melt the sugar and turn it a deep golden brown. (Alternately, heat the ramekins under the broiler, watching carefully.) Let sit at room temperature until the sugar has hardened, about 5 minutes.

HOMEMADE CRèME BRûLéE RECIPE BY TASTY



Homemade Crème Brûlée Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: heavy cream, vanilla extract, egg yolks, sugar, ramekins

Provided by Tucker Iida

Categories     Desserts

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 cups heavy cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
6 egg yolks
1 cup sugar, half in mixture, half for crust
6 oz ramekins, 7 ounces (225 grams)

Steps:

  • Heat heavy cream and vanilla extract in a sauce pan until hot, but not boiling.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk egg yolks and half of sugar until well mixed. Pour in the hot cream gradually, mixing continually.
  • Pour hot water into a large roasting pan. Place six ramekins into the pan (the water should come roughly halfway up the sides of the ramekins).
  • Pour the egg mixture into the ramekins and bake at 325˚F (165˚C) for 45 - 50 minutes. The crème brûlée should be set, but still a little jiggly in the middle.
  • Remove the ramekins from the roasting pan, allow to cool to room temperature, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least two hours and up to three days.
  • Remove the crème brûlée from the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before browning the sugar on top. Spread a tablespoon of sugar on top of each crème brûlée.
  • Using a torch, melt the sugar to for a crispy top. If you don't have a torch, you can broil the crème brûlée to melt the sugar. Keep an eye on it, to make sure you don't over cook it. Allow the crème brûlée to sit for at least five minutes before serving.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a good quality vanilla extract for the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the custard. It should be thick and creamy, but not curdled.
  • Let the custard cool completely before refrigerating it. This will help prevent it from separating.
  • Use a kitchen torch to brûlée the sugar on top of the custard. If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can use a broiler. Just be careful not to burn the sugar.
  • Serve the crème brûlée immediately after it has been brûléed. This is when it is at its best.
