Rose Sugar And Cardamom Infused Crème Brûlée
- 1 pint whole milk
- 3 green cardamoms, seeds removed and crushed
- 4 large egg yolks
- 130 grams caster sugar
- 2 tablespoons pink edible rose petals
- A few pink rose buds to garnish
- To make the rose sugar, add all the rose petals with sugar and keep in an air tight jar for about 3-6 days, allowing the fragrance of roses to infuse with the sugar.
- Set 6 ramekins in a roasting tin, add water to the baking tin so that it reaches halfway of the ramekin.
- Beat the egg yolks in a bowl with about 1-2 tbsp of the rose sugar and slowly add the infused cream in a thin stream into the beaten egg yolks until all combined. Add the rose water and stir slowly. Pour through a strainer into a jug. Pour the mixture into the ramekins equally.
- Bake in an oven at 150 degrees C for about 30-40 minutes.
- Once cooked, remove from oven and cool and then chill for 3-4 hours or overnight.
- Sprinkle remaining rose sugar over each creme brulee t form a thin layer of sugar. Either place under hot girl for 2-3 minutes until sugar is caramelised or using a blow torch caramelise the sugar until brown and hard.
- Cool for another hour in the fridge until the top is hard. Decorate with rose buds and serve cool.
