Think making creme brulee is out of your league??? Think again. This Irish Cream Creme Brulee recipe has even beginners (like me!) looking like a rock star!
Scale
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 large egg yolks
- 1/4 cup Irish Cream liqueur
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For The Topping:
- 1/4 cup sugar
- Berries and whipped cream, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Place 4 (8 ounce)* ramekins in a 9″ x 13″ inch baking dish.
- Add the cream, sugar and salt to a medium-sized pot. Whisk together over medium heat until the cream mixture comes to a gentle simmer. Don’t bring the cream to a boil, as it can scorch easily. Once the cream is hot, pour equally into the ramekins. Transferring the cream mixture to a pourable measuring cup helps prevent spills!
- Pour boiling water into the baking dish, filling until it reaches halfway up the ramekins.
- Bake until the filling is just set, between 50 and 60 minutes, depending on the size ramekins that you’re using.
- Transfer the ramekins to a wire rack and let cool to room temperature. Once the ramekins are cool, cover each ramekin with plastic wrap until very cold, at least 4 hours.
- Remove the plastic wrap and sprinkle the tops of the ramekins with the sugar, evenly coating the tops. Using a kitchen torch, caramelize the sugar until lightly browned. Alternately, you can place the ramekins under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes until the sugar caramelizes.
