About This Recipe

Crème Brûlée is a classic French dessert featuring a rich, creamy vanilla custard topped with a crisp, caramelized sugar crust—simple, elegant, and irresistible.

Ingredients

Ingredients:

For the caramel:

  • 150g (3/4 cup) granulated sugar

  • 2 tbsp water

For the custard:

  • 1 liter (4 cups) milk

  • 6 eggs

  • 200g (1 cup) sugar

  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract or 1 sachet of vanilla sugar

  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the caramel:
    In a heavy-bottomed pan, melt 150g sugar with 2 tbsp water over medium heat. Do not stir—just swirl the pan gently until the sugar turns golden brown. Immediately pour the hot caramel into a baking dish or individual ramekins, tilting to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside.

  2. Make the custard:
    In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, 200g sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Warm the milk slightly (do not boil), then slowly pour it into the egg mixture while whisking constantly.

  3. Assemble:
    Pour the custard mixture over the set caramel in the baking dish or ramekins.

  4. Bake:
    Place the dish(es) in a large roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides (bain-marie). Bake at 160°C (320°F) for about 45–60 minutes, or until the custard is set but slightly jiggly in the center.

  5. Cool and serve:
    Let it cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours (or overnight). Run a knife around the edges and invert onto a plate to release the custard with the caramel sauce on top.
