كريم بروليه
French 10 Mins Prep · 40 Mins Cook
- Preheat the oven to 140°C, gas mark 1. Prepare a deep roasting tray with boiling water and place 4 x 100ml ramekins inside.
- In a small saucepan, heat the cream along with the vanilla pod and seeds to just below boiling point.
- Whisk the egg yolks and sugar together in a medium-sized bowl until pale and thick. Pour the warm cream into the egg mixture while whisking continuously. Strain through a sieve and divide between the ramekins.
- Bake for 25 minutes, until the edges are set and the centre wobbles slightly.
- Allow to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for up to 2 days.
- When ready to serve, sprinkle a thin, even layer of sugar over each custard, then brûlée using a blowtorch. Alternatively, preheat the oven grill to its highest setting and place the custards under the grill for 2–3 minutes until the sugar has caramelised.
