Crème Brûlée

Paraphernalia

  • 290ml Weck Jars (makes roughly 18 jars)
  • Sous Vide

Ingredients

  • 2.4L Double cream
  • 24 Egg yolks
  • 60ml Vanilla bean paste
  • 500g caster sugar

Method

  • Mix cream and vanilla in a pan, heat to 85C and maintain for 2 hours
  • Cream sugar and egg yolks together
  • Leave the cream to cool slightly before gradually mixing the warm liquid with the egg/sugar mixture (essentially making a custard)
  • Heat water bath to 82C
  • Pour custard into Weck jars (filling about 90%) and seal
  • Leave jars in water bath for 1 hour
  • Disconnect sous vide and run cold water into the bath to cool the jars
  • Leave jars in the fridge overnight (assuming good dates on the cream, should be fine for a week if left sealed)
