Creme Brulee

This is an extremely cool dessert to serve to, or on your Valentine, even if her name is slightly different….

You will need:

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
Beat egg yolks, 4 tablespoons white sugar and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl
until thick and creamy.
Pour heavy cream into a saucepan and stir over low heat until it almost comes to boil.
Remove the cream from heat immediately.
Stir cream into the egg yolk mixture; beat until combined.
Pour cream mixture into the top pan of a double boiler.
Stir over simmering water until mixture
lightly coats the back of a spoon, about 3 minutes.
Remove mixture from heat immediately
and pour into a shallow heat-proof dish.
Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove from oven and cool to room temperature.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
Preheat oven to broil.
In a small bowl combine remaining 2 tablespoons white sugar and brown sugar.
Sift this mixture evenly over custard. Place dish under broiler until sugar melts,
about 2 minutes. Watch carefully so as not to burn.
Remove from heat and allow to cool. Refrigerate until custard is set again.
