DREAM CAN BE REALITY!

It’s sound a little bit funny if we said that one of us knew crème brûlée when she watched High School Musical. lol ^^v. Yeah! She's one of HSM fan!! No doubt. From that moment, her dream is to be master in making crème brûlée.*winkwink And now, she can make it with her eye closed. Hahaha. Only one eye not two okay. We searched what is the meaning of crème brûlée just now and we found this! Okay, let me summarize it to you. Crème brûlée actually is a French pronunciation. Its  also known as burnt cream. Crème brûlée is a dessert consisting of a rich custard base topped with a contrasting layer of hard caramel. Now you knew what is a crème brûlée so, we may proceed to the main part of this post.

The ingredients:

• 600 ml of heavy cream
• 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
• 5 egg yolks
• 1/3 cup of sugar
• brown sugar

Direction:

1. Put a clean saucepan on a stove and turn into a medium heat
2. Pour a heavy cream into the saucepan then the vanilla extract. Stir it in 5 seconds using a whisk and leave it but remember we don’t want to boil it, just heat it until soft bubbles begin to form at the sides of the saucepan.
3. Put the egg yolks into the mixing bowl then the sugar. Stir gently in 15 seconds.
4. Pour bit by bit the cream into the yolk mixture and stir constantly.
5. Then, strain the mixture through a sieve into a jug to remove any grit. Use the blow torch to remove the bubble on top of the mixture.
6. Pour the mixture straight into the ramekins. Next, pour enough hot water into the tray to reach half way up the ramekins.
7. Place the tray into the oven for 30 to 40 minutes at 160 degree Celsius
8. The half ready crème brûlée will look like a jelly. Cool it in the room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes then, chill it in the fridge for at least 4 hours
9. Roughly one hour before you going to eat the crème brûlée. Layer up thin the brown sugar on the aluminium foil to dry it for about half hour.
10. Sprinkle the dry brown sugar on top of each crème brûlée evenly.
11. Quickly caramelize the top with the blow torch. Leave it for 20 seconds and repeat the step before.
12. Lastly, leave it for 5 minutes just for the top to completely harden.

Here you go, a ready crème brûlée to impress your guest. :D

We know maybe some of you can't afford or forgotten to buy a blow torch. Don't worry! You can make this crème brûlée even you don't have a blow torch. Just don't lose your hope and keep trying. Hahaha. The other methods are you can use a spoon to remove the bubble in the step 5 and place the ramekins into the oven to it's highest position then turn on the broiler. Broil for 3 to 8 minutes and frequently rotate them so that they broil evenly.

Note: In step 4, you must make sure you are slowly incorporate the cream into the yolk mixture. Don't rush in this step because if you incorporate the cream too quickly, the egg may cook.

Last but not least, you can also put some fresh fruit on top of the crème brûlée such as strawberries, blueberries or cherries to decorate this dessert.
