Egg Yolk Crème Brûlée Recipe

Ingredients: 0. 6 large egg yolks 0. 1 cup granulated sugar (divided: 1/2 cup for the custard, 1/2 cup for the topping) 0. 2 cups heavy cream 0. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 0. Pinch of salt Directions: 0. Preheat the Oven: • Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). 0. Prepare the Custard Mixture: • In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and light in color. • Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, and mix until combined. 0. Heat the Cream: • In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not let it boil. • Slowly pour the hot cream into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from cooking. 0. Strain the Mixture: • Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup or bowl to remove any bits of cooked egg. This will ensure a smooth custard. 0. Bake the Custards: • Divide the mixture evenly among 6 ramekins. • Place the ramekins in a baking dish and add hot water to the dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins. • Carefully transfer the baking dish to the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the custards are set but still slightly jiggly in the center. 0. Chill the Custards: • Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature. • Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight. 0. Caramelize the Sugar: • Before serving, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar evenly over the tops of the chilled custards. • Use a kitchen torch to melt and caramelize the sugar until it forms a crispy, golden-brown crust. Alternatively, you can place the ramekins under a broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning. 0. Serve: • Allow the caramelized sugar to harden for a minute or two before serving.
