Vanilla Bean Crème Brûlée

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 Zoosh Vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped
  • 5 egg yolks
  • Extra sugar for topping

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Heat Cream: In a saucepan, heat the cream with the vanilla seeds and pod until it just begins to boil. Remove from heat and let steep for 15 minutes.
  3. Mix with Eggs: In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar until pale. Slowly add the cream mixture, whisking constantly.
  4. Bake: Pour into ramekins and place in a baking dish. Fill the dish with hot water halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.
  5. Chill and Caramelize: Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Before serving, sprinkle with sugar and caramelize using a kitchen torch.
