Vanilla Creme Brûlée is one of those desserts i’d rather not have to share.
One of the most elegant desserts of all time. Breaking through its sweet caramel sugar crust to the creamy custard centre is just pure bliss. The custard can be made three days in advance and you don’t need a fancy blow torch for the sugar crust.
All you do to do for the D.I.Y crust is make a basic caramel with sugar and water then pour it onto a silicone mat and cool completely. Once cooled toss it in a mini food processor and blend until it resembles sugar granules. Dust the custard with the caramel sugar then pop it under a hot grill for 30 seconds and you’re done.
Best served immediately after caramelising the sugar crust & believe it or not the first time I had creme brûlée was actually on Valentine’s day some years ago. Fast forward to now creme brûlée is one of my go to date night dessert.
