Ingredients

• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon Dried culinary lavender
• 5 large Egg yolks
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 0.125 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Place 4 ramekins in a deep baking dish.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream and dried lavender. Heat over medium heat until the cream just begins to simmer. Remove from heat, cover, and let steep for 10 minutes.

Step 3

While the cream is steeping, whisk together the egg yolks, 0.5 cups of granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt in a mixing bowl until well combined and slightly thickened.

Step 4

Strain the lavender cream through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove the lavender buds. Slowly whisk the warm cream into the egg yolk mixture, a little at a time, to avoid scrambling the eggs.

Step 5

Divide the custard mixture evenly among the ramekins. Carefully pour hot water into the baking dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins, creating a water bath.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the custards are set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

Step 7

Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to fully set.

Step 8

When ready to serve, sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar evenly over the top of each custard. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until golden brown, or place the ramekins under a broiler for 2-3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.

Step 9

Let the caramelized sugar cool and harden for a minute before serving. Enjoy your creamy, floral Lavender Crème Brûlée!
