Perfect Crème Brulée

• portions: 4 servings
• temps actif: 15 minutes
• temps total: 3 hours 5 minutes

Ingrédients

3 large egg yolks

¼ cup white sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons white sugar

1 tablespoon brown sugar

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Move an oven rack to the lowest position.

Whisk egg yolks, 1/4 white sugar, and vanilla together in a stainless steel bowl until smooth. Bring cream just to a simmer in a saucepan over medium-low heat; pour into egg yolk mixture, whisking continuously until combined.

Bring a couple of inches of water to a simmer in an oven-safe saucepan over medium-low heat; set the bowl with cream mixture over the saucepan to form a double boiler.

Place the entire double boiler into the preheated oven; bake until mixture sets, about 30 minutes.

Chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.

Combine 2 tablespoons white sugar and brown sugar in a small bowl; sprinkle evenly over cold crème.

Heat under the preheated broiler until sugar melts and browns, 2 to 3 minutes; return immediately to the refrigerator and chill until sugar is set, about 15 minutes.
