One of my Christmas presents that I received was a Creme Brulee torch.. lovely gift!
Today, we went bought gas fuel for it and I took a stab at making some classic Creme Brulee.
It was an easy and simple custard recipe.. two egg yolks, 1 tsp of vanilla, mixed with 1/3 cup sugar. Scorched a cup of cream on the stove. Whipped everything together.. and cooked it in the oven in an hot water bath for about 35 minutes. The custard was a little uneven since I didn't sieve the mixture so its got some little bubbles on it.
Here's a shot of the first little guy right out of the oven.
After the ramekins cooled down, I had to cover them up and stick them to chill in the fridge.
A nice little shot of my tiny fridge... with the little ramekins covered in foil in there. After about an hour and half or so, out they came. 50/50 granulated sugar/brown-sugar mix was used for caramelization. Sprinkled the sugar over the custard, and fired up the torch. The first one came out a little uneven but after figuring out the best angle and how fast the sugar caramelized, the second creme brulee came out great.
Here it is. :) Yummy.. smooth custard, crispy sweet shell.
Totally easy to make.
Next.. to try out some of the other types of Creme Brulee ;)
