Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 6 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup raspberries fresh for garnishing
- 1/4 cup sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Whip together the 1/2 cup of sugar with the egg yolks and vanilla/almond extract until well blended and paled. Scald the cream (about 190 degrees or just slightly simmering) and very slowly pour into, while whisking, the egg yolk mixture.
- Place 4 (7 oz) ramekins into chrome wire ramekin rack. Skim off any excess foam from custard mixture and pour into ramekins until about 3/4 full.
- Set the ramekin rack inside the non-stick baking pan. Carefully pour water into the baking pan until it reaches about 1/2 the way up the ramekins. Place into oven, on the middle or lower rack, for about 20-25 minutes until set (no longer liquidy). Chill for 30 minutes.
- Sprinkle the chilled brûlée with the sugar to coat the top of the custards. Using the kitchen torch, caramelize sugar by moving the flame continuously over the surface in a slow, circular motion. Serve garnished with fresh raspberries.
Notes
Makes four 7 oz portions.
