Ultimate crème brûlée – Angela Nilsen
About
French: crème brûlée
Crème brûlée is literally means ‘burnt cream’. It is a rich caramalised custard dessert.
With crème brûlée aim for a glassy layer of caramel on top that shatters when tapped with a spoon – just like in the movie Amelie
It’s best to use a blow torch or brûlée iron to carmalise the sugar (rather than under the oven grill).

You can serve the dish in one large shallow ovenproof dish, but if like me you think it’s more fun to have an individual brûlée for each person, use ramekins. Serve within an hour or two.
