Strawberry Creme Brulee
Strawberry Creme Brulee is silky smooth custard, lightly flavored with strawberry, and topped with a crunchy caramelized sugar topping.
Ingredients
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 1/2 cups whipping cream
- 1/2 cup strawberry puree
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 9 teaspoons sugar for topping, brown for broiler, or white if using a torch
Instructions
- Heat oven to 325°F. In 13x9-inch pan, place 6 (4-oz) broiler safe ceramic ramekins.
- Blend all ingredients except the topping sugar in the blender.
- Strain into a pouring vessel. Pour cream mixture evenly into ramekins.
- Carefully place pan with ramekins in oven. While in oven, pour enough boiling water into pan, being careful not to splash water into ramekins, until water covers two-thirds of the height of the ramekins.
- Bake 25 to 40 minutes until the center of the custard is set but jiggly (it’s okay if sides are jiggly too as long as the center is set). Temperature should be about 170F.
- Carefully transfer ramekins individually to cooling rack—I found that lifting with a hamburger turner worked best. Refrigerate until chilled, approximately 2 hours.
- Sprinkle about 1 1/2 teaspoons of sugar over each chilled custard. Lightly press flat. Place under pre-heated broiler to brown. Watch like a hawk to avoid burning (or fire). Or sprinkle with white sugar and brulee with a torch.
- Refrigerate until rechilled, 1-2 hours. Eat the same day (or sugar may soften).
