Introduction: Sugar Art Creme Brulee

The Sugar Art Creme Brulee is a fun twist on normal creme brulee. If done right, you can put whatever design you want on top of your creme brulee. Mine didn't turn out well, but I have seen it work with my partners.

Supplies

Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 egg yolks
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar for topping
  • 1 kettle of hot water

Step 1:

Preheat oven to 325°F

Step 2:

Heat 2 cups heavy cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a sauce pan over a medium heat until it slightly starts to simmer. Turn off the heat and put the mixture aside.

Step 3:

In a mixing bowl beat together 6 egg yolks and ⅓ cup granulated sugar for about 5 minutes until it has thicker consistency and pale color.

Step 4:

Gradually, a little at a time, add cream and vanilla mixture to the eggs until well combined, constantly stirring.

Step 5:

Divide the mixture between 4 ramekins and place them into a large baking pan. Pour hot water into the pan, covering ¾ of the ramekins.

Step 6:

Bake at 325°F for about 30-35 minutes until Crème Brûlée is set but slightly jiggling in the center.

Step 7:

Create a stencil for your design with paper, place it on the creme brulee and sprinkle sugar over it. Then carefully remove the stencil. Use a blow torch to burn the sugar on top and if done correctly the design will show.

Step 8: Conclusion

Now you have your creme brulee hopefully with a fun design. This recipe serves 4 people, and could be a fun recipe to make with friends.
