Classic creme brulee

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the products. We will take only the yolks from the eggs) Put the water to warm right away, we need boiling water.

2. Step 2:

   

   Separate the yolks from the proteins, add sugar to the yolks and beat with a mixer. Proteins are not useful. You can use them in other baking.

3. Step 3:

   

   While the yolks are being whipped, remove the vanilla pod from the middle, or add vanilla sugar (or vanilla tincture) to the cream, put it on the fire to heat up, BUT DO NOT BOIL! As soon as you see signs of boiling, immediately remove from heat.

4. Step 4:

   

   Then pour in the hot cream in a thin stream, without stopping whipping the yolks with sugar.

5. Step 5:

   

   Whisk everything well.

6. Step 6:

   

   Then the mass must be filtered through a sieve so that there are no lumps. We put the oven to warm at 150 degrees.

7. Step 7:

   

   If there is foam on top, remove it.

9. Step 8:

   

   Then pour the mass into ceramic portion molds, not reaching the top somewhere 1-1.5 cm. I have 6 such forms. We put the molds in a baking tray and pour boiling water into it very carefully so that the water reaches the middle of the molds. Put in the preheated oven for 50 minutes.

10. Step 9:

    

    Here is our creme brulee. It is necessary to remove from the baking sheet, let it cool and put it in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours. Better even for a day. During this time, the cream will stabilize even better and become very tasty.

11. Step 10:

    

    Here is a well-cooled creme brulee.

12. Step 11:

    

    Before serving, you need to make a caramel crust - this is the "business card" of creme brulee. To do this, pour 1 teaspoon of sugar into each mold, distribute evenly - just twist the mold in your hands at an angle, the sugar will be well distributed.

13. Step 12:

    

    Take the burner, turn on the minimum and melt the sugar. It turns out a crust. If there is no burner, turn on the grill and put the molds under the grill in the oven, just control so as not to burn the sugar.

14. Step 13:

    

    Decorate with mint and strawberry) That's the beauty we got)

15. Step 14:

    

    Creme brulee is very delicate in taste, and the caramel crust is the height of bliss)) Your relatives, guests will be delighted, believe me! Bon appetit!
