Eggnog Creme Brulee Recipe
- 8 cups water
- 2/3 cup Best Eggnog
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 5 large egg yolks
- 1/3 cup plus 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- Heat the oven to 300 degrees F and arrange a rack in the middle.
- Bring the water to a simmer in a medium saucepan over high heat; keep at a simmer.
- Combine the eggnog, cream, milk, and nutmeg in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the egg yolks and 1/3 cup of the granulated sugar in a medium bowl until pale yellow and thick, about 3 minutes.
- While whisking constantly, slowly pour the heated eggnog mixture into the yolks in a steady stream.
- Once combined, divide the mixture among 6 (4-ounce) ramekins and place in a 13-by-9-inch baking dish.
- Pour the hot water between the ramekins until it reaches two-thirds of the way up the sides (you may not need all of the water).
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and poke a few holes in it with a skewer or knife to allow steam to escape.
- Bake until the centers of the custards are just set, about 30 to 35 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and transfer the custards to a wire rack to cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
- Cover the ramekins with plastic wrap and refrigerate until completely chilled, about 1 hour.
- When ready to serve, heat the broiler to high and arrange a rack in the upper third.
- Place the custards on a baking sheet and sprinkle about 2 teaspoons of the remaining 1/4 cup sugar evenly over each.
- Place under the broiler until the sugar is caramelized and golden brown, about 1 to 2 minuteswatch carefully to avoid burning.
- (Alternatively, you can use a kitchen torch.)
- Serve immediately.
