No Bake Creme Brulee Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Split each vanilla bean lengthwise.
  • Place cream in a medium heavy-bottomed pan, scrape vanilla bean seeds into the cream (use a sharp-tipped knife) then add the beans and heat until bubbles begin to form at edges of the pan.
  • Remove from heat and let stand 30 minutes to infuse the cream with the vanilla flavor.
  • Beat egg yolks with sugar until pale and thick.
  • Strain cream and vanilla with a fine sieve and pour into egg yolk mixture.
  • Cook, without boiling, over low heat until mixture thickens and coats the back of a metal spoon.
  • Remove from heat and divide evenly among 6 large ramekins or custard cups.
  • Cover and refrigerate 3 hours, until set.
  • Prior to serving, sprinkle remaining sugar evenly over custards and brown with a kitchen torch or under the oven broiler.
  • Refrigerate until serving.
