A creamy, indulgent dessert with a perfect balance of smooth custard and a crisp caramelized sugar top, this Easy Crème Brûlée Recipe is sure to impress with minimal effort.
Ingredients for this Easy Crème Brûlée Recipe:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons white sugar
- 3 large egg yolks
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons white sugar, divided (for topping)
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Place two ramekins in a baking dish.
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it’s just about to simmer. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the 3 tablespoons of sugar and egg yolks until light and smooth.
- Slowly pour the warm cream into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to avoid curdling the eggs. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Pour the custard mixture into the prepared ramekins.
- Fill the baking dish with hot water until it comes halfway up the sides of the ramekins (this creates a water bath).
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Just before serving, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar on each ramekin and use a kitchen torch to melt and caramelize the sugar until golden brown and crispy. If you don’t have a torch, you can place the ramekins under the broiler for a few seconds.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the crisp top with the creamy custard!
