Cappuccino Creme Brulee
- 5 teaspoons instant espresso or instant coffee granules
- 2 tablespoons hot water
- 2 cups heavy (whipping) cream
- 6 large egg yolks
- 1/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons Kahlua or brandy
- 6 tablespoons oven-dried brown sugar (see Notes) or turbinado sugar for topping
- Preheat the oven to 275F.
- In a medium bowl, dissolve the espresso or coffee granules in the hot water and stir in the cream.
- In another medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks until pale in color.
- Whisk in the light brown sugar until dissolved.
- Whisk in the espresso mixture and the Kahlua or brandy.
- Place six standard-size flan dishes in a baking pan.
- Divide the custard mixture among the dishes.
- Pour warm water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the dishes.
- Bake in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the center of each custard still jiggles slightly.
- Remove from the oven and lift the dishes from the hot water.
- Let cool briefly, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 2 days.
- When ready to serve, place the dishes on a baking sheet and evenly sprinkle 1 tablespoon oven-dried brown or turbinado sugar over each custard.
- Using a hand-held blowtorch, caramelize the sugar (see Notes).
