• In a ziplock bag, crush the cookies until fine.
• Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the cookie crumbs over each ramekin.
• Fill the pan with boiling water.
• Bake for 45 minutes.
• Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• When set, add 2 teaspoons of sugar to the tops of the ramekins. Shake to make even, and broil or torch until the sugar is caramelized.

HOMEMADE CRèME BRûLéE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Heat heavy cream and vanilla extract in a sauce pan until hot, but not boiling.
• In a medium bowl, whisk egg yolks and half of sugar until well mixed. Pour in the hot cream gradually, mixing continually.
• Pour hot water into a large roasting pan. Place six ramekins into the pan (the water should come roughly halfway up the sides of the ramekins).
• Pour the egg mixture into the ramekins and bake at 325˚F (165˚C) for 45 - 50 minutes. The crème brûlée should be set, but still a little jiggly in the middle.
• Remove the ramekins from the roasting pan, allow to cool to room temperature, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least two hours and up to three days.
• Remove the crème brûlée from the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before browning the sugar on top. Spread a tablespoon of sugar on top of each crème brûlée.
• Using a torch, melt the sugar to for a crispy top. If you don't have a torch, you can broil the crème brûlée to melt the sugar. Keep an eye on it, to make sure you don't over cook it. Allow the crème brûlée to sit for at least five minutes before serving.
• Enjoy!

CRèME BRûLéE COOKIES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a large, microwave-safe bowl, whisk the yolks and ½ cup (100 g) of sugar until pale in color.
• Add the cornstarch and vanilla extract, and whisk well. Add the milk and whisk until fully combined.
• Loosely cover the bowl with plastic wrap and microwave for 4-6 minutes, whisking every 1-2 minutes, until the mixture becomes a thick custard.
• Re-cover with plastic wrap and chill for about 2 hours.
• In a medium bowl, cream the softened butter and ½ cup (100 g) of sugar with a hand mixer until light and fluffy.
• Add the egg, and mix until fully incorporated.
• Add the flour and mix until the dough is crumbly, but holds together when squeezed.
• Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Once chilled, roll out the dough between two layers of parchment paper until it is ¼-inch (6 mm) thick.
• Cut out 6 2-inch (5 cm) diameter rounds of dough. Remove the excess dough and transfer the rings to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Re-roll the leftover cookie dough to the ¼-inch (6 mm) thickness. Cut out 6 more 2-inch (5 cm) rounds, then cut a 1½-inch (4 cm) ring inside the 2-inch (5 cm) rounds. Transfer the whole rounds to the baking sheet, then remove the inner circles.
• Bake the cookies for 10 minutes, until pale and just barely cooked. Let sit at room temperature to cool for 30 minutes.
• Once the cookies are cool, transfer the chilled custard to a piping bag. Pipe the custard onto the circle-shaped cookies completely covering the surface.
• Place the ring-shaped cookies on top of the custard-topped cookies and press down gently to adhere.
• Add the remaining cup of sugar to a small pan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar melts and begins to caramelize. Make sure there are no lumps of sugar.
• While the caramel is still hot, pour about 2 tablespoons over each cookie to fill the ring on top. Let the cookies cool completely.
• Enjoy!

CREME BRULEE

Steps:

• Use 6-oz. ramekins.
• Heat the oven to 325°F.
• Heat the cream or cream and milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat until scalded (you'll see small bubbles on the sides of the pan).
• Split the vanilla bean in half, if using, and scrape the seeds into the cream.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, slowly whisk the sugar and salt into the egg yolks.
• Slowly temper the hot cream into the sugar/yolk mixture.
• Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into a pitcher or measuring cup.
• Stir in vanilla extract if using.
• Arrange the ramekins in a baking dish with deep sides, pour the mixture into the ramekins, Fill the baking dish with water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins and cover the dish with foil.
• Bake until just set, 25 to 50 min.
• Remember to start checking early; baking time will depend on the thickness and depth of your ramekins and baking dish.
• Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven and let the ramekins cool in the water bath.
• Remove, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to 2 days.
• Topping: sprinkle a light layer of sugar over each cold creme brulee just before serving.
• Caramelize either using a propane torch by passing over the sugar or putting under a broiler.

CREME BRULEE

Steps:

• In a heavy-bottomed sauce pan, heat cream, milk and split vanilla bean almost to a boil, over medium-high heat. Watch the pot carefully, as the cream will scorch and bubble over if allowed to boil. As soon as it begins to simmer, remove pan from heat. Let sit at least 5 minutes to infuse cream with the vanilla.
• Meanwhile, whisk sugar, cornstarch and egg yolks together in a large bowl. Slowly pour the cream mixture into the yolks, whisking constantly. If baking custards right away, remove vanilla bean; otherwise, cover and refrigerate with bean in custard up to two days.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees with the rack in the middle position. Set 8 6-ounce ramekins in a large casserole pan (you can use smaller or larger dishes; the cooking time will vary only slightly).
• Divide the custard mixture into ramekins (about 3/4 cup in each). Fill the casserole pan with very hot tap water 1/2 of the way up the ramekins and carefully transfer to the oven. Bake just until set, about 25-30 minutes (time will vary depending on your oven), turning the pan once if the custards seem to be setting unevenly. The custards shouldn't bubble during cooking. If they do, remove immediately.
• When done, the custards should be set on the edges and jiggle very slightly in the middle when shaken. You don't want them to be too firm. Remove from oven and allow to cool in water 10 minutes before carefully removing from casserole dish.
• If serving right away, keep custards at room temperature. If not cooking right away, refrigerate uncovered at least 2 hours, then cover. If chilled, remove from refrigerator and allow the custards to come up to room temperature, about 45 minutes.
• Using a blowtorch: When ready to serve, sprinkle turbinado sugar, about 1-2 teaspoons each, and place dishes on a nonflammable surface. If you do not have turbinado sugar you can use granulated but just use a very thin layer or it may brown too much in some spots.
• Following manufacturer's directions, light blowtorch and bring to medium heat. Using a circular motion and being sure to get the edges, caramelize the sugar directly and completely with flame. The crust should turn a deep golden brown color. Garnish with fresh fruit and/or cookies if desired.
• Using the broiler: Refrigerate the custards up to a day. Dry the brown sugar (you can do a large batch and save it) on a cookie sheet in a 200-degree oven for 20 or 30 minutes. Let cool and run through a sieve or sifter. It will hold indefinitely.
• Preheat boiler. Sprinkle a thin layer of brown sugar, about 2 teaspoons, on each chilled custard, using a finger to gently spread it evenly across the top. Position a rack 3 or 4 inches from broiler. Place sugared bruleés one or two at a time under heat, carefully moving dishes slightly to caramelize sugar evenly (a broiler's heat is rarely even).
• This takes a little practice and a lot of concentration, so you might want to do one or two as an experiment before you try it with company. When evenly caramelized, set aside and continue with the rest. Garnish with fresh fruit and/or cookies if desired.
