Vanilla Crème Brûlée
Vanilla crème brûlée: egg yolks, cream and milk baked gently in a water bath at 110 °C, then caramelized with brown sugar.
Vanilla crème brûlée served in small ramekins, with its crust of caramelized sugar: the dessert of July 30.
The custard bakes very gently, in a water bath at 110 °C, until set. It then chills for several hours. The brown sugar is caramelized only at the last minute, with a kitchen torch or under the broiler.
The contrast between the crackly crust and the cold custard is what makes it.
