Praline Creme Brulee

 

Praline Crème Brulee                 Prep Time: 10 minutes   Cook Time: 25 minutes   Yield: 4 servings

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 3 large egg yolks
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1/2 teaspoon butter pecan flavoring, or more vanilla
• 4 tablespoons granulated sugar, for topping

DIRECTIONS

·         Preheat oven to 350°.

·         In a saucepan, bring cream to a boil.

·         Meanwhile, whisk egg yolks with granulated sugar and flavorings.

·         Slowly whisk the hot cream into the egg yolk mixture until well blended.

·         Place 4 shallow individual 1/2-cup baking dishes in a large baking pan.

·         Pour cream mixture into the baking dishes.

·         Pour boiling water into the baking dish to about halfway up the small baking dishes.

·         Carefully place the pan in the oven.

·         Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the centers barely move.

·         You may have to adjust baking time, depending on the size of the baking dishes.

·         Sprinkle each creme brulee with 2 to 3 teaspoons of sugar.

·         Place under the broiler, turning and watching very closely, until sugar turns a darker brown, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.

Low Down: We didn't use praline flavor, but the vanilla is great alone for flavoring! Watch the top!
