Ingredients:
- 275g of heavy cream (30% fat)
- 95g of whole milk
- 8 egg yolks
- 80g of sugar
- 2 vanilla pods
- 2g of grated tonka bean
Instructions:
- Combine the cream, milk, vanilla pods, and grated tonka bean in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat. Allow the mixture to infuse in the refrigerator for at least 10 hours to unleash the full aroma of the vanilla.
- After infusion, remove the vanilla pods from the mixture. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until well combined. Gradually mix this into the cream mixture.
- Use a hand blender to blend the mixture for 2-3 minutes until smooth and homogenous.
- Pour the mixture into individual ramekins. Bake in a preheated oven at 95°C (203°F) with fan circulation for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the center is just set but still slightly wobbly.
- Allow the Crème Brûlée to cool completely before refrigerating for at least 5 hours.
- Before serving, sprinkle cane sugar over each dessert and use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar, creating the iconic crispy top.
Enjoy this luxurious dessert and revel in the rich flavors and creamy texture that make Crème Brûlée a perennial favorite.
