Utensils

  • Step 1

    Add the cream, Baileys and vanilla to the pan and heat gently on low heat. Do not boil.

  • Step 2

    While the cream is heating mix the egg yolks and the caster sugar to a smooth paste.

  • Step 3

    Slowly pour the warm cream over the yolks, whisking continuously to avoid curdling and cooking the yolks then strain the mixture through a sieve.

  • Step 4

    Split the creme brûlée between 4 ramekins and place in a deep baking tray.

  • Step 5

    Create a water bath for the brûlée by pouring hot water into the tray making sure to reach halfway up the ramekins.

  • Step 6

    Cook in the middle shelf of a preheated oven at 140°C (fan assisted oven) for 20-25 mins. The crème brûlée is ready when the edges are set and centre is slightly wobbly.

  • Step 7

    Remove from the water bath and cool in the fridge for at at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

  • Step 8

    To serve spread 1 tsp of brown sugar on top of desserts and caramelise with a kitchen blow torch. If you don’t have blow torch melt the sugar in the pan until it caramelises and pour on top of the brulee. Allow 5 mins to cool and set. Garnish with fresh fruit and shortbread biscuits.
