This easy crème brûlée recipe is rich and creamy. It should still be jiggly in the center when you remove it from the oven. To serve, use a spoon to crack the crisp sugar topping open to reveal the creamy dessert underneath.

Ingredients

  • heavy cream: 1 cup
  • white sugar: 3 Tbsp
  • egg yolks: 3 piece
  • vanilla extract: 0.25 tsp
  • white sugar: 2 Tbsp (divided)

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until custard is set but slightly jiggly in the center when shaken, about 50 minutes. Remove ramekins from hot water and chill in the refrigerator until cold, at least 2 hours.

  5. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar evenly over the top of each dessert. Use a kitchen torch to melt and lightly toast sugar topping until brown and bubbly, about 30 seconds. Let sugar topping cool to harden before serving.
