Creme Brulee

Mann, I have so many updates I need to post, but I've been lagging because I GOT A NEW CAMERA! I have a bunch of pictures, but have yet to put it on my computer. But don't worry, I will get them on their tonight! In the meantime, I will have to tell you about the creme brulee Faye made for all of us. I was lucky enough to get the recipe from her and I would like to note that I want a torch!! ;)

Now, I am totally not exaggerating when I say that this creme brulee was better than the creme brulee that I had at this fancy restaurant in San Francisco (pictures of this will be coming as well). I just remember the sugar on the creme brulee being too thick at the restaurant. Anyway, here it is:

Ingredients:
4 cups heavy cream
10 egg yolks
2/3 cup sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tablespooon brown sugar

Instructions:

1. Cook 2 cups of heavy cream on medium heat.


2. Let sit covered for 15 minutes.


3. Stir in the other 2 cups of heavy cream.


4. Whip it together with the egg yolks.


5. Add vanilla.


6. Strain.


7. Put in ramekins.


8. Bake in a water bath at 300 degrees for 35 minutes. (water should fill up to the 2/3 mark of the ramekins)


9. Chill for a few hours.


10. Add a little brown sugar, then torch!


11. Serve.
