createaplatewithdina CLASSIC CRÈME BRÛLÉE | My Valentine’s Day Dinner at Home Series Part 3

This classic CRÈME BRÛLÉE is made with just five ingredients and is the perfect Valentine’s Day or date night dessert. It’s rich, creamy, and finished with that crisp caramelized sugar top that makes it feel so elegant, yet it’s surprisingly easy to make at home. The perfect sweet ending to any special dinner 🤍

Ingredients
For the custard:
	•	2 cups heavy whipping cream
	•	5 egg yolks
	•	⅓ cup granulated sugar
	•	1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
	•	Pinch of salt

For the topping:
	•	About ½–1 teaspoon granulated sugar per ramekin
	•	Strawberries, for serving (optional)

Instructions
	1.	Preheat oven to 325°F and place 4–6 ramekins in a baking dish.
	2.	Warm the heavy cream over medium heat until hot and steaming, but not boiling. You’ll see little bubbles forming around the edges. Remove from heat.
	3.	Whisk together egg yolks, sugar, vanilla bean paste, and a pinch of salt until smooth and lighter and colour.
	4.	Slowly pour the warm cream into the egg mixture while whisking constantly until fully combined.
	5.	Strain the custard through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl or measuring cup.
	6.	Pour the custard into the ramekins, filling each about ¾ full.
	7.	Pour hot water into the baking dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
	8.	Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the edges are set and the center still has a slight jiggle. 
	9.	Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours or overnight until fully set.
	10.	Sprinkle about ½–1 teaspoon granulated sugar evenly over the surface. Tilt and rotate the ramekin to coat evenly.
	11.	Torch the sugar until melted and deep amber in color. Let sit a few minutes until hardened.
	12.	Top with fresh strawberries if desired.
