Homemade Maple Crème Brûlée with Real Syrup
Creamy, maple-sweetened crème brûlée made with real syrup and a crisp caramelized sugar top. This dessert is perfect for fall or a cozy dinner dessert.
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 5 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup real maple syrup
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 6 tbsp granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300 degrees and place a 9x13 pan with 1 inch of water inside the oven.
- In a small bowl combine 5 egg yolks and 1 tbsp vanilla extract.
- In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine 2 cups heavy whipping cream, 1/2 cup maple syrup, and 1 tbsp brown sugar. Whisk to combine and heat until a small simmer on the outer edges appear but the mixture is not boiling.
- Temper the egg yolk mixture. Scoop 1 cup of hot liquid out and very slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture while whisking quickly. Once the hot liquid is all combined, whisk the egg yolk mixture into the saucepan until combined.
- Continue whisking over medium-high heat until the mixture thickens slightly. Be sure not to scramble the eggs or allow the mixture to boil.
- Evenly pour the mixture into 4 ramekins.
- Place the filled ramekins inside the oven in the 9x13 with hot water. Bake for 40 minutes.
- Remove and allow the creme brulee to cool inside the waterbath for 30 minutes. Remove, cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours to chill.
- When ready to serve, sprinkle on 1.5 tsp granulated sugar on each creme brulee and carmelize with a culinary torch.
