Homemade Creme Brulee Recipe

Blog· Food and Drinks

I’m extremely lucky to be blessed with friends who have all sorts of talents and ambitions. One of my best friends is an engineer by day, chef by night. Well, she doesn’t technically have a job as a chef but has gone through culinary school and is constantly making the most delicious food. Since she is always cooking up a storm, I thought it would be amazing if she could share some of her recipes and insight with us.
You’ll find lots of new recipes on here from her. I’ve asked her to share recipes that are not your usual every day recipes but items that are maybe not made often or recipes that people think are hard but are actually very simple. The other night as we were texting, she mentioned nonchalantly that she was making Creme Brulee for herself. I was asking questions about the process and she made the whole thing sound so easy. Needless to say but I’ve never tried to make creme brulee but after chatting with her, she made it sound like a breeze as long as you follow each step correctly.

Homemade Creme Brûlée Recipe

Makes 5 servings in 4oz ramekins
For best results, make this one day ahead of time. The custard should be refrigerated overnight.
Ingredients
  • 4oz whole milk
  • 12 oz Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1/2tbsp vanilla bean paste
  • 3oz granulated sugar
  • 5 egg yolks
  • Granulated sugar as needed for crispy topping
Directions
  1. Pre heat oven to 325 degrees.
  2. Measure all the ingredients before starting.
  3. Whisk sugar with egg yolks until sugar is combined and yolks turn slightly lighter in color.
  4. Heat heavy cream with milk and vanilla paste  (be sure not to bring to a full boil) until the edges begin to lightly bubble.
  5. Pour heavy whipping cream/milk mixture over egg yolk/sugar mixture slowly so as to not scramble the yolks until fully combined.
  6. Strain the custard through a fine mesh sieve.
  7. Pour strained custard into ramekins and set ramekins into 9×11 baking dish. Add enough water to come two-thirds of the way up the ramekins.
  8. Bake until set, about 45-50 minutes. The custard should only jiggle a little in the middle of the ramekin when they are set.
  9. Refrigerate overnight.
  10. When ready to serve, top with a thin even layer of sugar and, following the directions on a kitchen torch, caramelize the sugar for a nice crispy topping! Top with fruit or mint or serve as is.

One of my favorite things about 2020.... businesse One of my favorite things about 2020.... businesses adapting and making things work! I was recently introduced to @savageburritos and I'm in love.  Savage Burritos is the love child of Uncle Julios so it you like UJ, you'll love Savage.  They are a delivery only service offering burritos and bowls from select Uncle Julio kitchens in DFW. We ordered a variety of items from burritos, bowls, queso and more. Every single item was bursting with flavor. If you like spicy,  I highly recommend the Nashville Hot Chicken Burrito. 🔥 Don't forget to add on a Margarita pop - nothing beats alcohol and Mexican food delivered straight to your door!

I know this year has dragged on and on for many pe I know this year has dragged on and on for many people but it has flown by to me. I'm 100% sure it has something to do with welcoming Myles into this world during the height of a pandemic and keeping a toddler alive at the same time.  I can't wait for Christmas morning to make memories with my little family (even though Christmas shopping isn't complete and I haven't even thought about wrapping presents). It will all fall in to place, it always does. We didn't attend our favorite Christmas events this year or get pictures with Santa so this random Santa picture will do and I'm 100% happy with it.  If this year has taught you anything,  let it be finding the joy in the little things ❤
The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Althoug The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Although things might be a bit different this season, we're still enjoying some of our favorite foods and traditions. This year we're incorporating ordering family meal kits from @chuysrestaurant for not only my family but extended family that we might not be able to hang with this holiday.  It's a simple way to spread the joy with loved ones, eat delicious food and not forget the reason for the season.  #ad #nachoaverageholiday
Family pictures are always so much fun.... this ye Family pictures are always so much fun.... this year we got to attempt it twice thanks to sweet Bryce.  Thankfully the second time around he cooperated. As painful as they may be,  I'm so glad we get these done every year. I love looking back at them and see how much we've all changed and how much the kids have grown!
Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We got our family pictures back and they look great other than the fact that Bryce decided not to participate. We got one shot with my entire family and Bryce is off to the side playing in poison ivy. 🤦‍♀️

I wanted to send a quick thank you for all the birthday love yesterday! Birthdays are not my favorite day but it was nice to hear from so many people. Here's to another year around the sun ❤
This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city r This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city ran completely by kids. Your child gets to fully immerse themselves into role playing any job they can imagine. From checking animals at the veterinarian, putting out fires as a firefighter,  flying planes in an simulator, creating their own personal logo with Bic, or being a weatherman at WFAA - the options are endless! Kidzania activities are for ages 4 and up.

We felt very comfortable inside with their safety protocols. Temperatures were checked before entering.  Everybody ages 4 and up must wear a mask.  Hand sanitizer was readily available throughout the entire space.  If you're looking for a fun outlet for your child to explore, check it out!
