Can you make Creme Brulee without a broiler?
The other half basically said, “For the love of God, don’t use the broiler. Your creme brulee will not get an even crust without a torch.” Having tried it myself, I’m a fan of the broiler method. Using a torch gives you more control, and the end result will look prettier.
What to do if you dont have a torch for Creme Brulee?
But there’s a workaround if you don’t have a torch. After cooling the custard and sprinkling sugar on top, you can simply place the ramekins directly under your oven broiler, and carefully watch the sugar burn and form that glorious topping.
How to put sugar on top of creme brulee?
1. Remove the lid or cover from your creme brulee. 2. Sprinkle white sugar over the top of your C’EST BRULEE crème brulee, making sure to completely cover the top of the custard. 3. Rotating or gently shaking the ramekin from side to side will help make an even layer of sugar.
How long do you cook Creme Brulee in a ramekin?
Use the kettle spout to pour the hot water into the casserole dish, pouring enough water so that the water almost reaches the top of the ramekins. Be careful not to get any water into the ramekins. Bake the custard for 1 hour just until the centers are slightly wobbly.
