8 SERVINGS | 6 oz
SPECIAL EQUIPMENT:
KITCHEN TORCH
6 OZ RAMEKINS
directions
Preheat the oven to 325F.

Cut open and scoop out the seeds from the vanilla beans.

Mix in the vanilla bean seeds with the heavy cream and place on the stove. Heat up until almost at boiling point, stirring frequently. Take off the stove and let it cool for about 15 min.

In the meantime, whisk together the egg yolks with half a cup of sugar. Add in the cream continually whisking while pouring until it becomes a homogenous mixture.

Fill 8 6oz ramekins about 2/3 up with the creme brulee mixture. Place them in a deep baking dish and pour hot water around them half way up the ramekins.

Place in the oven for 40-45 min until the creme brulee is set but still trembling in the center when gently shaken. Let them cool off completely.

Just prior to enjoying spread a thin even layer of sugar on top and torch until brown and bubbly. Garnish with fresh berries.

Expiry: Store the unfinished creme brulees (without the sugar coating) for 3-4 days in an airtight container in the fridge. Once they are coated with sugar consume within 1-2 hrs.
