Brulee is a classic French dessert that is easy to make at home with only four ingredients. It consists of a smooth and rich vanilla custard that is baked in the oven and then finished with a layer of crunchy sugar that is torched or broiled until golden and crisp. Brulee is a decadent and elegant treat that can be enjoyed any time of the year, but especially on special occasions like Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, or birthdays. This recipe makes four servings, but you can easily double it if you need more.

Ingredients

2 cups of heavy cream
1/4 cup of granulated sugar, plus more for topping
4 egg yolks
1 tsp of vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325°F and boil some water in a kettle. Arrange four 6-ounce ramekins in a 9×13 inch baking dish.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the cream until it starts to simmer. Do not let it boil. Turn off the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until pale and smooth.
Gradually whisk in the warm cream into the egg mixture, stirring constantly to avoid curdling. Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps.
Divide the custard evenly among the ramekins. Pour enough hot water into the baking dish to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. This creates a water bath that helps the custard cook evenly and gently.
Carefully transfer the baking dish to the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the custards are set around the edges but still slightly wobbly in the center.
Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, until chilled and firm.
When ready to serve, sprinkle about a tablespoon of sugar over each custard. Use a kitchen torch to melt and caramelize the sugar, moving it back and forth until it forms a golden and hard crust. Alternatively, you can place the ramekins under the broiler for a few minutes, watching them closely to prevent burning.
Enjoy your brulee with some fresh berries, whipped cream, or as is. Bon appetit!
