Creme Brulee



Ingredients:

2 eggs

4 egg yolks

¼ cup refined sugar

300 ml all purpose cream

1 2/3 cups milk
1 tsp vanilla

1 ½ tbsp brown sugar

Procedure:

  1. Preheat over to moderately slow 160 degrees C. Place 6 x 1/2 cup ramekins in a baking dish.
  2. In a medium heat-resistant bowl, whish together eggs, yolks and refined sugar.
  3. In a small saucepan, bring combined cream, milk and paste to boil. Gradually whisk hot cream mixture into egg mixture.
  4. Place bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Cool, stirring, for 8-10 minutes until mixture thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
  5. Pour into dishes. Add enough boiling water to baking dish to come halfway up sides of ramekins. Bake for 20-25 minutes until custards are just set. Remove from water. Cool to room temperature. Cover and chill for 3 hours or overnight.
  6. Preheat grill to very hot. Place custards in a shallow flameproof dish filled with ice cubes and a little water. Sprinkle top of each custard with 1 tsp brown sugar, spreading evenly over surface. Grill for 1-2 minutes until sugar has caramelized. Cool slightly and serve.
