Creme Brulee


It's like our version of leche flan but with its name it made it more classier. and I think this one is much easier to make compared to our own leche flan. I wonder how it taste like. better try one soon.


Ingredients:

4 eggs

vanilla

sugar

heavy cream

salt.


items you'll need:

A whisk, a small bowl, and a medium mixing bowl that's microwave safe. You'll also need a roasting pan, an oven, and a microwave. Preheat the oven to 350 F.

Separate the 4 eggs. Put the yolks into the small bowl. Set aside for a minute. Next, put 4 tablespoons of sugar into the mixing bowl. Add 1 pint of heavy cream. Stir gently with a whisk. You're not whipping this, just stirring. Next, put it into the microwave for 2 minutes to dissolve the sugar. While sugar is in the microwave, whisk yolks a bit. Just enough to break the yolks up and smooth it out. When your sugar-cream mix is done in the microwave, stir it a bit to make sure the sugar dissolves. Stir in the eggs and whisk it well. Add a dash of salt and a teaspoon of vanilla. After it's well whisked, pour it into ramekins. Put the ramekins into a roasting pan.
Put the roasting pan with ramekins into the oven. Pour in enough hot water to come up halfway on the ramekins. It doesn't have to be boiling, just hot. I normally do it straight out of the faucet.
Bake at 350F for 40 minutes. They should still be jiggly when you pull them out. Don't worry about it. It will set up in the fridge, just like a cheesecake.Let them cool a bit and then pop them into the fridge. It's best to chill them overnight. Before serving, sprinkle some brown sugar on top of the creme brulee and burn it with a torch. If you don't have a torch, you can melt the sugar under the broiler. Let the creme brulee cool for just a minute, and enjoy!
