Creme Brulee


As inspired by Pathum from his last blog post, I decided to talk about my favourite dessert of all time as well! : )
After a bit of a hard time for me to decide which dessert I will be talking about in this blog post, I finally chose a French dessert - creme brulee.
Creme brulee is one of the most popular international dessert and so it's not hard for you to have creme brulee in any Western restaurant or even some fusion dessert restaurant!
And now I'm going to show you guys the few steps to this actually-not-that-hard-to-make dessert! :D


  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  2. Beat egg yolks, 4 tablespoons sugar and vanilla in a mixing bowl until thick and creamy.
  3. Pour cream into a saucepan and stir over low heat until it almost comes to boil. Remove the cream from heat immediately. Stir cream into the egg yolk mixture; beat until combined.
  4. Pour cream mixture into the top of a double boiler. Stir over simmering water until mixture lightly coats the back of a spoon; approximately 3 minutes. Remove mixture from heat immediately and pour into a shallow heat-proof dish.
  5. Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for 1 hour, or overnight.
  6. Preheat oven to broil.
  7. In a small bowl combine remaining 2 tablespoons white sugar and brown sugar. Sift this mixture evenly over custard. Place dish under broiler until sugar melts, about 2 minutes. Watch carefully so as not to burn.
  8. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Refrigerate until custard is set again


Enjoy! :D
