Ingredients
- 480 ml Heavy cream
- 120 ml Strong brewed coffee
- 6 large Egg yolks
- 100 g Granulated sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp Brandy
- 1 pinch Salt
- 6 tsp Granulated sugar (for topping)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F).
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and strong brewed coffee. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is just about to simmer. Remove from heat.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, brandy, and a pinch of salt until smooth and slightly pale.
Step 4
Slowly add the warm cream and coffee mixture to the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to avoid curdling.
Step 5
Strain the custard mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any lumps or clumps.
Step 6
Divide the mixture evenly among six small ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full.
Step 7
Place the ramekins in a deep baking dish and pour hot water into the dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins to create a water bath.
Step 8
Carefully transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the custards are set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Step 9
Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Then, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Step 10
When ready to serve, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of sugar evenly over the top of each custard. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until golden brown and crisp.
Step 11
Let the caramelized sugar crust cool for a minute or two before serving. Enjoy your Coffee Brandy Crème Brûlée!
