Roasted Vanilla Honey Crème Brûlée Recipes

VANILLA CRèME BRûLéE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325 degrees. In a saucepan, combine cream, vanilla bean and salt and cook over low heat just until hot. Let sit for a few minutes, then discard vanilla bean. (If using vanilla extract, add it now.)
• In a bowl, beat yolks and sugar together until light. Stir about a quarter of the cream into this mixture, then pour sugar-egg mixture into cream and stir. Pour into four 6-ounce ramekins and place ramekins in a baking dish; fill dish with boiling water halfway up the sides of the dishes. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until centers are barely set. Cool completely. Refrigerate for several hours and up to a couple of days.
• When ready to serve, top each custard with about a teaspoon of sugar in a thin layer. Place ramekins in a broiler 2 to 3 inches from heat source. Turn on broiler. Cook until sugar melts and browns or even blackens a bit, about 5 minutes. Serve within two hours.

ROASTED VANILLA & HONEY CRèME BRûLéE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Split the vanilla pod, scrape out and reserve the seeds, and put the pod on a baking tray. Roast until dried and brittle, about 15 mins, remove from the oven and leave to cool.
• Pour the honey into a saucepan and gently heat until it starts to caramelise. Pour in the cream and reserved vanilla seeds, return to the boil and whisk to dissolve the honey. Remove from the heat and set aside to infuse for 20 mins. Crush the roasted vanilla pod into a fine powder using a pestle and mortar, then stir through the honey mixture.
• Return the mixture to the heat and bring to the boil. Whisk, then remove from the heat and gradually pour the mixture over the egg, whisking constantly. Return the mixture to the pan and cook over a low heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches 86C on a cooking thermometer or has thickened to a smooth custard. Pass the custard through a fine sieve and leave to cool slightly. Pour into a blender and blitz for 30 seconds or until smooth. Strain into a small dish, then put in the fridge to chill overnight.
• Sprinkle over the sugar and caramelise with a kitchen blowtorch, then serve with the shortbread on the side.

HONEY VANILLA CRèME FRAîCHE

Steps:

• This can either be thin like a sauce or thick like whipped cream. For the sauce, simply combine all the ingredients with a spoon. To make it thick, place all the ingredients in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and mix on high speed for about 60 seconds, or until it is as thick as whipped cream.

HONEY VANILLA RICE-PUDDING CRèME BRûLéE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan bring the water to a boil, add the rice with a pinch of salt, and simmer it gently, covered, for 15 to 20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Transfer the rice to a small bowl and let it cool.
• Preheat the oven to 300°F. and butter a 9-inch (1-quart capacity) flameproof shallow baking dish. In the pan bring the milk and the cream just to a boil with the vanilla bean and remove the pan from the heat. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean into the milk mixture and discard the pod (or reserve it for another use). In a bowl whisk together the whole eggs, the egg yolks, the honey, and the salt, whisk in the rice, and whisk the mixture until it is combined well. Add the milk mixture in a stream, whisking, and pour the custard into the baking dish. Transfer the baking dish to a baking pan, add enough hot water to the pan to reach halfway up the side of the dish, and bake the custard in the middle of the oven for 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until it is set completely. Transfer the custard to a rack, let it cool, and chill it, covered, for at least 6 hours or overnight.
• Just before serving, preheat the broiler, blot the top to the custard dry with a paper towel, and force the brown sugar through a coarse sieve onto the top of it, covering it evenly. Put the baking dish in a baking pan filled with ice and broil the custard about 2 inches from the heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the brown sugar is melted and crisp (be careful not to let the brown sugar burn). Let the crème brûlée cool in the pan of ice for 3 minutes and serve it, cut into wedges, with the orange sections.

EASY 3-INGREDIENT VANILLA CREME BRûLéE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the ice cream in 20 second intervals, stirring between, until melted. Let the ice cream cool for 5 minutes. Whisk in egg yolks one at a time until the mixture is smooth and consistent. Pour evenly into 2 oven-safe ramekins.
• Move the ramekins to a baking dish with a high rim. Pour boiling water into the baking dish until half-way up each ramekin. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until set but still jiggly in the center. Allow to cool completely, then wrap with plastic wrap and transfer to the fridge for 2 hours or up to 3 days.
• When ready to serve, let the ramekins come to room temperature for 30 minutes, then sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar over each creme brulee. If you have a kitchen blow torch, torch the sugar until golden and bubbly. If you don't, broil on the top rack of the oven at 500°F for 2-3 minutes, watching to make sure they don't burn. Serve immediately.

CINNAMON-HONEY CREME BRULEE

Steps:

• Make the custard: Bring cream, milk, cinnamon sticks, and salt to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Remove from heat, and let steep 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, preheat oven to 300 degrees. Bring a kettle of water to a boil. Place six 6-ounce creme brulee dishes or heatproof ramekins in a large roasting pan.
• Pour cream mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl, then return to pan. Add honey and 1/4 cup sugar; bring to a simmer. Stir to dissolve. Whisk egg yolks and remaining 1/4 cup sugar in a bowl. One ladle at a time, whisk hot milk mixture into yolks.
• Pour custard through sieve into a bowl, and ladle into dishes. Place pan in oven, and add enough boiling water to pan to reach halfway up sides of dishes. Bake until custards are just set, about 35 minutes (may take longer if using ramekins). Transfer dishes to a wire rack, and let cool. Refrigerate, covered with plastic wrap, at least 2 hours and up to 3 days.
• Make the topping: Before serving, place dishes in freezer 20 minutes. Mix sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle a thin layer on custards. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize sugar, or put custards under broiler, 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat with another layer of cinnamon sugar.

BOURBON VANILLA CRèME BRûLéE

Steps:

• Add egg yolks to a bowl and beat with an electric mixer on high speed until eggs are thick and light yellow, about 5 minutes. Gradually beat in 1/4 cup sugar and vanilla bean paste.
• Pour cream in the top of a double boiler over simmering water and simmer until just hot to the touch, about 3 minutes. Pour half of the warmed cream into the egg mixture, a little at a time, whisking constantly so eggs do not curdle.
• Pour egg yolk-cream mixture into the remaining cream in the double boiler.
• Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously, until mixture thickens, 8 to 10 minutes. Do not let mixture boil.
• Pour custard into 4 small ramekins and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours, up to 24 hours.
• Sprinkle each crème brûlée with some of the remaining tablespoon of superfine sugar.
• Use a blowtorch to melt the sugar on top of the crème brûlée. It will crystallize as it hardens. Alternatively you can use the oven broiler, but be careful to not burn the sugar.
• Lightly tap the crystallized sugar with the back of a spoon to break it before eating.
