Ingredients
420ml of Whipping Cream
1 Large stick of Vanilla
70g of Sugar
4 egg yokes
Method
Pre-heat oven to 140 C
- Pour cream into a saucebin. Scape vanilla seeds into the cream. Chop up the peel of the vanilla stick and put into cream as well. Bring mix to boil and leave to simmer for 5 minutes
- Whip together Sugar and Egg yokes until light in colour and airy
- Pour cream mix into egg/sugar mix while whipping constantly. Mix is supposed to thicken as a sign that the egg yokes are being lightly boiled
- Strain the mix into a can through a sift
- Fill the Creme Brullee pots 2/3 of the way and put them into a oven dish. Fill the oven dish with water until it reaches 1/2 of the side of the Brullee dishes
- Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, until the mixture is almost baked, leaving the center still slightly fluent
- Cool to room temperature - several hours
- Just prior to serving, sprinkle each Creme Brullee with sugar and caramelise with the burner
