Coffee Creme Brulee

Ingredients:

  • 500 ml. (2 cups) heavy cream
  • 30 ml. (2 tbsp.) expresso
  • 1 tbsp. coffee liqueur
  • 70 grams (1/3 cup) sugar
  • 1/2 vanilla bean seeds
  • 5 large egg yolks
  • Some sugar for serving
  1. Preheat oven to 140 degrees, and place at the bottom of the oven a pan with boiling water, creating a steamy baking environment.
  2. In a medium pot put cream, espresso, liqueur, sugar and vanilla. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches simmering point.
  3. In a separate bowl put egg yolks and whisk.
  4. When cream mixture simmers, strain and add about 1/3 into the yolks while whisking. Then add the remaining cream and mix until combined.
  5. Transfer the mixture into individual baking molds and fill almost to the top. Bake for about 30-40 minutes or until set at the edges but still a little soft in the center.
  6. Cool completely in the refrigerator before serving.
  7. When serving, sprinkle sugar in a thin layer over each dessert and caramelize using a blowtorch.
  8. Serve immediately.
  • You can keep the creme brulee after baking (without burning), wrapped tightly, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • If you want, you can omit the liquor.
