Crème Brûlée with berriesIt is possible that we disclose a secret with this recipe, but oh well. Everyone loves crème brûlèe, especially women. When you realize how easy it is to make, you have learned the world’s easiest culinary pickup line.
2dl cream 2dl milk 70g sugar 5 yolks ½ vanilla stick Sugar for burning Mixed berries or fruit Split the vanilla by cutting it lengthwise. Remove the seeds with a small knife. Boil the cream and the milk with the sugar, the vanilla seeds and the vanilla husk. Whip the eggs and pour the hot mixture over the eggs while whipping. Sieve and fill in low portion forms. You can use coffee plates or other small plates. Set the oven to 110ºc and leave in for about 20minutes, or until the mixture has stiffened. This may take longer if the mixture is cold. The crème brûlè is finished when it has a light mushy consistence. Take the forms out and cool in a refrigerator before burning. Coat with a layer of sugar and melt to caramel using a ski burner. Serve with berries, sorbet or fruit salad. TIP: Save the husk from the vanilla stick and put it in a jar of sugar. Do this every time you use vanilla sticks. When you have about five sticks on a kilo of sugar, blend in a food processor to the world’s best vanilla sugar.
