Video Recipe: Creme Brulee

[Parker10997]

There's something I just really like about your videos, Mr Snow

They're not too complicated, you explain methods well and you also tend to have a little background information about all your ingredients

Good Job, sir

[googo151]

Creme Brulee means burnt creme. Just a correction! 

[kachunski]

Steve Carrell should do a parody of this.

[datzfast]

definition of organic= anything the person selling it wants it to mean. most of the time it only means a higher price for the word organic. the buyer may have one thing in mind the seller may have somthing else, and its legal to label any and eveything organic.

[GunitForLyfe]

mmm

[buknoyavaldez]

I've been wanting to do this recipe for a long time but I don't have a torch to make the sugar topping. Now that you've shown we can use the broiler, I will sure start making this recipe as soon as possible. Thank you and more power.

[broggi007]

haha.. He was right the first time.. It's burnt cream, not burnt sugar!

[dimitrizeman100]

is the mango optional ?

[derekbegins]

Hey Keith! it would be better if you get thailand mango,malaysia mango,vietnam mango. they are much much sweeter! =)

[strawberriegloss]

omg the color of the eggs! :o

i have made this dish rather often, a little different recipe...but like you said, the color depends on the eggs and thank god the creme i make has a beautiful color :D the idea with mango is fscinating...i have to try that :)

[singuy1]

your mango creme brulee is so tasty!

[alexanuchid]

I'd like you visit Thailand , to experiment with many kind of Thai mangos..lots and varieties of mango we have, you'll be amazing.

[mayalim]

you should try Philippine mango. nothing compares to the taste..:)

[houchi69]

sorry to say, but the way you cut the mango skin is extremely wasteful.

[houchi69]

crime to throw out vanilla bean, and you can get minimum life sentence.

[houchi69]

Mango creme brulee...sinfully delicious

[serif46]

you should use torch to burn the sugar on top..your custard got cooked again and bowing color is just different..unlike one made using torch

[nealeajames]

Creme brulee translates as burnt cream - not burnt sugar. You don't need to be fluent in French to work that out!

[Fionnmacool]

the colour of the egg yolks is frightening

[katiehandang]

wow i want to try to make it

[katiehandang]

whats a boiler

[Kakkarot77]

why using "Madagascar" vanilla beans when we all decent chefs now the best vanilla is from México??

[markylon]

The mix was not whisked enough, there was dark yellow specks in the mix.

[markylon]

I'm a purist and I don't think a Creme Brulee should have any additions such as fruit or puree.

[m8codell]

brulee means burnt sugar

he did correct it after he said burnt cream

[valeryou]

Wow.. Fantastic recipe .. I am going to do it ... Hope I won 't mess them up!

Thank you ..

[zeropointprophet]

powering the sugar would be faster  i use my majic bullet to grind my sugar into power its easyer for mixing

[zeropointprophet]

did you just say "ginger" why are us ginger red heads delicate or soft or something?

[googo151]

Keith,

I love your attitude and enthusiasm and passion for food. You're a great chef and instructor.

[MsSissima]

.?????

[MsSissima]

Hello... can the crème brûlée be made with milk in stead of creme fraiche.??

Thanks

[JOMO19921993]

You don't use creme fraiche, he said heavy creme which is 36% butter fat. If you use milk thats only 1-3.25%, it would defeat the purpose of having "Creme" brule. If you can't find heavy creme where you shop then use whip creme, it's the next closest thing.

[tashxhead]

Northwoods Wisconsin Vanilla Bean Shopping: 2 for 9 dollars. :D

[j3n2398]

this is just my opinion...

when my mom made creme brulee she couldnt find any vanilla bean and she added vanilla extract and when it was done it tasted fine and delicioous

[msmanalastas]

thanks for this tutorial! :) i just tried it but without a mango. however, i burned the sugar. i have to try it again.

[9teen60seven]

When the camera zooms out he looks like Steve Carrell.

[99pinkcookie]

sweet video! can i make it without the mango? thaankss.

[NewAgeRemedy]

i love the idea of the mango, 2 thumbs up. anyway i love mango too, i myself have try to add in mango extract/ flavouring to the vanilla cream mixture, it taste even better maybe you could give it a try. tell me how it is.

[keithsnow]

good substitution...sounds like a winner

Keith

[OlyveOyle]

I've just started watching these, so haven't gone through a great many - getting too hungry here - have you made a video of making quiche? Veggie or cheese?

[keithsnow]

have not done one..request on my blog at harvest eating

keith

[shifttradition]

Where can i put in a request for a recipe? i would love to see how you make a Cream Puff with a vanilla custard filling. also a frenched rack of lamb.

[keithsnow]

visit my blog on harvest eating....request it there

keith

[shifttradition]

As for making the sugar 'crust' on top, I probably would've taken some of that flavoured "Vanilla-Sugar" and then use a blow-torch.

I like my sugar crust very thin and brittle, almost like a thin sheet of glass, but with a little bit of color and flavour to it... so i'd be careful to not torch it for too long (burnt)..... but just long enough to melt the sugar.

[keithsnow]

I agree, usually use the torch, but could not find it that day, the broiler does not do a very good job...

[keithsnow]

the vanilla sugar is a killer idea!!

Keith

[ossiechamorro]

beautiful job chef. I think using a torch on the sugar looks much better. This is the first time I see someone adding mango. Yummy Idea.

[keithsnow]

your right..torch is better...

[forreforre]

a good thing to do before or after you've poured it into cups are to remove the foam(?) from its surface, looks better when it comes out of the oven without all the bubbles.

[yes4me]

This is my first time making a dessert. I just followed your recipe. My creme brule looks great. thx you. 5/5

[leonieke123ke]

can you do this with any kind of fruit?? like apples, or pineapple

[LuckyGirl7K]

Oh man, if I wasn't on a diet I'd be making this!

[amysewfun]

Thanks for the video...I can't wait to try it.

[cannonflower]

your confusing.

[Tiff6660]

What do I use to replace if I can't find the fresh vanilla pod? Thx

[LikeAPossum]

You can use vanilla sugar instead of plain sugar. If it's good it will have the seeds in.

[Salketer]

I'd really suggest to use a torch instead of the oven for the brulé part, many households have one...Doesn't need to be specialized for the kitchen. Stay far when burning to make sure you don't over do it.

On another note, using a half-half mix of white and brown sugar would be a better idea as the brown sugar has a tendency to melt instead of burning.

We were doing it like you Keith, but when we made the changes I suggested above we started selling twice as much if not more at my restaurant.

[marek0086]

@Salketer~ brown sugar.... good idea.

[marek0086]

@Salketer~ using a torch will make it taste like propane/butane!!!

Its like putting them in front of the tail pipe of your car!

[Ankermanagement]

@marek0086 - you won't taste the gas from the torch at all, it's burnt off long before the flame is near the brown sugar. Plus you don't want to stick the burner all the way down to the sugar, just so it caramelizes nicely.

Another little tip with the torch is that once you have poured the custard into your molds, you will have some small bubbles which can ruin the texture of the surface a bit. If you just quickly wave the flame of the torch over the custard, it will make them disappear.

[Gouivelious]

@Salketer Try using raw sugar, comes out even better...

[SHINYamAHA21]

I love Creme Brulee~ Since I lost nutrition balance I'd like to make cremebrulee to gain some weight(???) just kidding, I just love the texture and taste in mouth...mmmmmmm deli~

[choco33333333]
