I know Valentine’s is supposed to be all about chocolate, but honestly, this Vin Chaud Crème Brûlée is totally next level. Warm, cozy, a little spicy, and with that perfect caramelized top, you’ll fall in love all over again.

Vin Chaud (Mulled Wine) Crème Brûlée 

Serves: 2
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 60 minutes

Ingredients

3 egg yolks
1 cup red wine 
1/2 cup sugar divided
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup heavy cream
2-3 orange slices
1 Cinnamon stick
3-4 cloves
One star anise
Pink peppercorn 

Instructions

Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the red wine, orange slices, cinnamon stick, cloves, star anise, pink peppercorns (use 3–4 max), and ¼ cup of the sugar. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, then reduce to low. Simmer 15–20 minutes, until the wine is reduced to a syrupy ½ cup. Strain through a fine mesh sieve (strain a second time if needed) and discard solids.
Return the strained wine to the saucepan. Add the heavy cream. Heat gently over low heat until just steaming. Do not boil. Remove from heat.
In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the remaining ¼ cup sugar and vanilla until pale and slightly thickened.
Slowly pour the warm wine-cream mixture into the egg yolks while whisking constantly until fully combined.
Preheat oven to 325°F Place two ramekins in a baking dish and divide the custard evenly between them. Pour hot water into the dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the centers are just set with a slight jiggle.
Remove ramekins from the water bath and let cool at room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
Just before serving, sprinkle a thin, even layer of fine or superfine sugar over each custard. Torch until deep golden and crackly. Let sit 1–2 minutes, then serve.
