Honey creme brulee recipe
- 500 ml (17.6fl oz) double cream
- 10 medium free range egg yolks
- 150 g (5.3oz) honey
- 1 sprinkling of caster sugar
- Preheat the oven to 100C/gas mark 1/4 to 1/2.
- In a bowl mix the egg yolks and honey.
- Set aside.
- In a thick-bottomed saucepan bring the cream to a boil.
- Remove from the heat and pour onto the egg and honey mix and whisk to combine.
- Return this mixture to a saucepan, and whilst continuously stirring on a low heat allow to thicken.
- When it coats the back of a spoon remove from the heat.
- Sieve this into a large jug to remove any lumps and pour into ramekins or heatproof portion size dishes.
- Place the ramekins onto a baking tray and put into the preheated oven for between 45 minutes and one hour.
- You will know they are ready when there is no wobble in the middle of the brulee.
- Remove from the oven.
- Allow to cool and then place in the fridge to chill (preferably overnight) before glazing.
- To glaze: sprinkle a thin coating of caster sugar over the top of the custard and wipe the rim of the ramekin (this makes it easier to clean after).
- Using a blowtorch, burn the sugar until it has dissolved into a light caramel.
- Repeat this process a few times, until a nice caramel disc is formed.
- Allow to cool completely before serving.
- After making the caramel disc it is vital to allow the glaze to cool completely before eating.
- Sugar reaches very high temperatures so be extra careful.
