Burnt Cream/Crème Brûlée


This recipe comes from Kincaids' Restaurant in Bloomington, MN. I have made it for many family holiday dinners. It is very rich and smooth.

Makes 6 six-ounce servings.

Ingredients:
  • 1 pint Whipping Cream
  • 4 Egg Yolks
  • ½ c. Granulated Sugar
  • 1 T. Vanilla Extract
Topping:
  • 4 T. Granulated Sugar 
  • 1 t. Brown Sugar 


Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
  2. Heat cream in heavy pan over low heat until bubbles form around edge of pan. 
  3. Beat yolks and sugar until thick, about 3 minutes. Gradually beat cream into egg mixture. Stir in vanilla
  4. Pour into 6 custard cups or ramekins. Place custard cups in baking pan that has about ½ inch of water in bottom. Bake until set, about 45 minutes. 
  5. Remove custard cups from water and refrigerate until chilled. Sprinkle each custard with 2 teaspoons sugar topping blend. 
  6. Place on top rack under broiler and cook until topping is medium brown. (or use a torch).
  7. Chill before serving.

This dessert ranks up there as one of my favorites. The ingredients are minimal and yet the dessert always is a great ending to any meal. I recommend taking your time when heating up the cream in the sauce pan and consider using a thermometer.
