Simply Decadent Creme Brulee

Tammy Circeo
Simple to make at home, creme brulee is a beautiful dessert that is sure to impress, especially if you take a hint from Dorie Greenspan and put some jelly or jam in the bottom of each dish!

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Tablespoons jam or jelly Raspberry is my favorite!
  • cups heavy cream
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • brown sugar for the topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 200°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set your custard dishes on it. Spoon about a teaspoon of jam or jelly into each one and spread it evenly.
  • Mix the cream and the milk together and bring to just under a boil.
  • In a medium size bowl or measuring cup with a spout, whisk the egg yolks and sugar to blend. Whisking constantly, pour a small amount of the cream mixture into the eggs to temper them. Gradually add the rest of the cream mixture, whisking always. Add the vanilla.
  • Pour the custard over the jam in the baking dishes, about a half cup in each.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes until the centers are just set. They should still wiggle a bit, but not be liquid at all.
  • When the cremes are cool, cover them and refrigerate at least 3 hours.
  • To caramelize the cremes, spread about 1 Tablespoon of brown sugar evenly onto each one. Using a torch, caramelize each one until it bubbles and browns. Let it cool briefly before serving.
  • Garnish with raspberries and mint leaves.
