Instructions

Video

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together egg yolks, whole egg, and caster sugar until pale and smooth.

  2. Heat milk, double cream, and vanilla over medium heat until simmering, then slowly whisk into the egg mixture to temper the eggs.
  3. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan, cook over medium heat until it thickens and curdles (Overcooks). Transfer to jug and blend with a hand blender until smooth.
  4. Pour the custard into ramekins or lined mould (see example in the video), refrigerate for 3-4 hours.

Chocolate Sauce

  1. For the chocolate sauce, melt dark chocolate with heated whipping cream, stirring until smooth.

  2. Remove the crème brulle from the mold if using and Sprinkle sugar over the set custard, caramelize with a kitchen torch.

    Garnish with fresh fruits and chocolate sauce.

Notes

  1. For a deeper flavour, use a fresh vanilla pod instead of an extract. Store in the fridge for up to three days, but caramelize the sugar right before serving for the best texture. Substitute the chocolate sauce with caramel for a different twist.

FAQs

Expand All:
How long can I store Crème Brûlée in the fridge?

You can store it for up to 3 days, but caramelize the sugar just before serving for the best results.

Can I make this recipe without a kitchen torch?

Yes, you can use a broiler on high heat to caramelize the sugar. Just watch closely to avoid burning.

What fruits go well with Vanilla Crème Brûlée?

Raspberries, strawberries, or blackberries provide a great balance to the rich custard.

Can I make the chocolate sauce ahead of time?

Yes, make it ahead and refrigerate. Reheat gently before serving.

What should I do if my custard curdles?

That is the idea to overcook it, use a hand blender to emulsify it back to a smooth, creamy texture. So this way doesn't need baking.

Can I substitute the double cream with something lighter?

For a lighter option, you can use half-and-half, but the texture may be slightly less creamy.
