How To-Kaitlynn


Crème Brûlée
I have always been into French Cuisine especially since my family is French and my Nana
was born and raised in France. Many people know of Crème Brûlée and people always think it is super complicated to make but it really is not and it is a very delicious easy dessert. I hope you guys try out this recipe and love it as much as me and everyone else has that made it!
Ingredients
•1 Quart Heavy Whipping Cream •1 Cup Sugar
•1 Vanilla Bean
•6 Egg Yolks
•2 Cups Hot water

Preheat oven to 330°F
Split vanilla bean and scrape pulp. Place cream and vanilla bean with pulp into medium saucepan on medium-high heat, and bring to a boil. Take off heat and let sit for at least 15 minutes. Remove vanilla bean.
Whisk together 1/2 cup sugar and the egg yolks until a pastel yellow paste forms. Slowly add heated cream and whisk continually until combined. Pour Mixture into 6 ramekins and place ramekins into a small cake pan. Fill cake pan with warm water until it reaches the halfway point along the side of the ramekin. Bake for 45 minutes or until the edges have a jelly-like consistency, while the middle remains liquid. Remove from cake pan and cool in the fridge for at least 1 hour and 30 minutes.
When ready to serve, coat the top of the crème with a generous amount of sugar. Very slowly torch the sugar until a golden brown, caramelized crust forms. Chill for 10 minutes before serving.

  6. I really like this recipe because it remind me of High School musical and I think it's funny because we're almost done with High School so it nice that this piece makes you reminisce where we are now and this is teaching us to make a new creative dish. I like this piece very much so you deserve your props.

  11. Kaitlynn,
    I cannot express how delighted I am to see this "how to". I have always considered crème brûlée to be the magnum opus of François Massialot, and I expect I will be trying out your recipe very soon. Your recipe is well structured and easy to follow. Also, I completely agree that crème brûlée is easier to make than it seems, good point! Thanks for the recipe!
