Easy Crème Brûlée Recipe: Simple Dessert

Ingredients

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons white sugar
• 3 large egg yolks
• 0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons white sugar, divided

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Collect all of your ingredients.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and 3 tablespoons of sugar. Microwave until the mixture is warm, approximately 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk again until the sugar dissolves. Then, whisk in the egg yolks and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
3. Place the ramekins in a baking pan. Pour the cream mixture evenly into the ramekins. Carefully add hot water to the roasting pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Take the ramekins out of the water bath and put them in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.
5. Before serving, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar evenly over each crème brûlée. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it's melted, brown, and bubbly, which should take about 30 seconds. Allow the sugar topping to cool and harden before you serve.
