  • Use brown sugar it tastes so much better than white sugar.

  • My oven only goes to 250.

  • @tmseyes Is your oven Celsius or Fahrenheit? We're quoting the later so you'd require about 165 C

  • @rouxbe That's pretty funny. I didn't think of that. I'm sure the difference of 80 degrees Celcius would have an impact on the end result. Thanks for the help.

  • How much cream? She didn't say.

  • nice vid. if i half the recipe do i lower the temperature of the oven or would it be the same?

  • @mafrek I wouldn't lower the temp but just make to test them as the video shows to see when they are done so they don't over cook.

  • @rouxbe thank you

  • @rouxbe do i lessen the time? and also what if i heated the water in the oven and put the ramekins in? is that ok or should i stick with putting it in after the ramekins? thanks a lot for the help.

  • @mafrek You can certainly heat the water in the oven while warming up the oven. One thing to keep in mind that many forget is a thing called "displacement". What may look like a good water level may over flow when you add your ramekins. This is why we add the water after the ramekins so we know we're come 1/2 up the side. Best to do a counter test first to see what level you need that water to be without the ramekins.

  • desert and using a torch. Can't get any better

  • Ingredient measurments arent included in the video please trll me wat they are cause this looks good and i never had it

  • For the cream, could I use full cream milk?

  • @wongcassie As long as what you use has a butterfat content of between 30% to 40% you should be fine.

  • @wongcassie

    I use goat milk from our own goat. Ordinarily, it would be too thin for creme brulee but we force feed it tinned sweetcorn in a mix of lard and red onions which produces exceptionally creamy, sweet milk. For any of you who own a goat, I would recommend untethering it fortnightly and purging it with 2 parts cod liver oil to 5 parts cold tea. Otherwise you get a build up of barberpole worm in the intestinal tract and blood in the milk.

  • do you HAVE to leave it over night in the fridge? cant you jsut eat it lyk that?

  • @IBECRAFTINGALANA98 It's better to let it cool and set up completely over night.

  • This is great, I have made it many times but DO USE ZEST, it makes it taste very good but remember to drain everything before you put it in the oven

  • hi! i used table cream (half and half cream) is that okay? or will it turn out wrong? please answer back thank you :)

  • @foreverblu96 As long as it has a high fat content you should be OK.  It shouldn't split.

  • Im gonna try this! Thanks 4 da video!

  • i have never eaten Creme Brulee before.

  • Instead of the torch can I use one of those flame crack pipe lighters?

  • @gregoriodavila you can also use your oven's broiler

  • @picklellama48 Indeed you can use the broiler, you just need to keep a close eye on them.

  • @gregoriodavila Put the layer of sugar on the top and put it in the oven under the broil setting for about five minutes. I think it should end up the same way as it would if you used a blow torch.

  • @babyboogalicious You might want to keep an eye on them as I don't think you'll need 5 minutes.

  • the first time i tried to make creme brulee it became jelly n very gross :'(

  • This recipe tastes great, but i can't ever get the broiling right. I now use a flambe kit from dessertsnowdotcom & it comes out perfect every time. No torching & great aromas

  • 1:00 better to do, is to actually put a cloth around the bowl... keeps it better on it's place

  • @MrHonordeath

    Even better, use your other hand.

    Unless you're beating one out...

  • @p3rs0nan0ngrata I'd love to have 3 hands like you have I assume... cause I don't understand at all how to use the other hand on the bowl since you are pouring the cream from the saucepan to the eggs with one hand and with the other you hold the whip, now explain to me, please, your technique

  • @MrHonordeath Watch the beginning of the video again where we show you to place a wet paper towel on the counter to hold the bowl in place while you pour and whisk with your hands. It's a great technique when there is no one around to provide the third hand.

  • @rouxbe Hahaha... Gosh you are funny... However, if u now wish to read my first comment where I clearly state, that a cloth holds it better on place, you MAY also understand, that your reply to my first comment was, if not more than that, superfluous.

  • @MrHonordeath That would mean you have three hands however since one is whisking and the other is pouring the hot cream thus the need for the towel. I merely saw your comment as physically challenging.

  • @rouxbe no it doesn't mean you have three hands in any way, because of that you dont have to hold the cloth in place and, as it looks to me, you ARE having a quite bit physical problem with this three hand episode you are marketing here on youtube.

  • PLEASE REPLY: Can you use something else to substitute the blow torch (like a lighter or a match)

  • @coolgirl9583

    No, the torch cannot be substituted.

  • @coolgirl9583 a broiler can replace it.

  • aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa tirei o pal no gatoto mas o gatoto não morrel rel rel do na chicaca do berro çeçe do berro do berro que o gato deu minhal

  • @lucasmoon100 "atire o pau no gato-to-to, mas o gato-to não morreu-rreu-rreu, dona Chica-ca admirou-sse-sse com o berro, come o berro que o gato deu MIAU!!

  • @Naneoc editando: "admirou-se-se"

  • quantos portugueses e preciso pra pregar um prego na parede 100 ,1 para segurar o prego 99 para empurar a parede

  • adorei a receita mas não entendi quase nada.bom peguei a receita so que tenho que usar esqueiro em lugar do masarico.

    obrigado.

  • i wanted to buy the vanilla beans but they were too expensive :(

  • I FUCKING LOVE COLORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I use vanilla all the time, for pastry cream, custards, cake fillings and ice cream sundaes! You can get the torch and ramekins and vanilla beans at : Chef Depot .com there is a free recipe to make your own Vanilla Extract.

    Chef G

  • how much is 2 cups? exaclty?

  • why is it when i make it, there are little holes on the surface of the creme brulees'?

  • @notyourtypical526 because you probably incorporate air using the whisk uncorrectly (in the video here it is also uncorrect). If you live in US it might also depend on the fact that your dairy products are different than european: cream and milk are much fatter and emulsionate much easier. In fact I can't say anything about the recipe.....here those quantities would be absolutely wrong but again...ingredients are different.

  • just get a white chocolate baking bar form guradelli and fallow there recipy it is so much better and blow torch regular granulated sugar insted of that big corse sugar that they use in resturants trust me it tastes better you just have to be a little more carefull not to burn it unless you like it that way thats preety much it and be shure to let me know how that works out for you

  • hmm to caremalise the sugar can i put it back in the oven for a minute??

  • @nishi7cool no no no that will turn your cremey cutard into cheesecake like consistancy hope it works out for you

  • 2:28 i dont think u put in enough for da last one

  • CREME BRULEE

  • Creme brûlée has been one of my favorite desserts for a long time.

    Although it's time consuming to make, it's definitely worth the wait. Believe me, you'll be so glad you did it.

  • do you HAVE TO use 'ramekins' ?

    de white thing ? :L

  • How many eggs? We're not all pastry chefs you know!

  • Could I caramelize the top by putting them in the broiler for 2-3 min ?

  • One word - Yum

  • ok guys here is recipe for four portions!! 7 eggs yolks,80grms of white sugar,250cl milk,250cl cream, u can either use vanille or cannele, up to u, put the cream milk to boil with your choice of the vanille or cannele, on other side, toghter eggs n sugar, after mix slowly, after pour into dishes, banhe-marie, also pre-heat ur oven to 160c°, cook around 1hour if still bit soft on middle, just leave it in the hot water, that shouls finish it off,let it cool of 2hours, after in fridge overnight!

  • thank you all :D I got that on google already ;)

    Baking oven is not so popular among families in my country, so such things about temperature units or the like are sometimes confusing to me. My oven has the Celsius degree temperature mode. Sorry if my comment irritated some of you.

  • is the preheating temperature is 325 degreeF or degree C? :(

  • Does your oven go up to 617 Fahrenheit? Use your fucking head.

  • Ignore tarturus' comment, it's an honest question for someone to ask, especially if you grow up in a region that mostly uses celcius. In canada I use Celsius for everything except cooking. I would like to use celsius in cooking, but for some reason its not a world wide standard.

    When it comes to recipes pretty much all oven temperatures are in Fahrenheit.

  • @lanletuyet Fahrenheit. 325F is equivalent to 163C

  • this looks delicious

  • Is there a recipe?

  • 1 part sugar, 1 part egg yolk, 3 part heavy cream, 1tsp vanilla extract(no zest cause nobody likes chewy custard). *tip* to keep custard from burning under the sugar lightly melt a layer of sugar with the torch not enough to carmelize than add another layer of sugar on top than carmalize. *fun fact* the brulee they said is done in this still needs about 2 more minutes to finish otherwise the creme brule will be slightly liquidy in the middle

  • Thank you! I was thinking that myself, i dont want gooey creme brulee (or Cambridgeshire burnt cream...NOT a pudding belonging to the French!) or a chewy one!

  • @THxLiebhaber Great tip. Thx for sharing

  • @THxLiebhaber It is not a consistency issue here....lemon zest and vanilla just can't go together since it would be stupid to ruin the expensive vanilla flavor with a cheap lemon. Either use vanilla or a zest (lemon, lime or whatever) but never both of them at the same time. Lemon custard are perfectly correct as far as the mixture is properly strained.

  • @THxLiebhaber

    what kind of cream is that ?

  • @THxLiebhaber What kind of recipe is this you're giving? It doesn't make sense!

  • @googo151 There is a link to our full text recipe under the video.

  • @THxLiebhaber the zest makes it a lot better and it doesn't make the custard chewy because she shows that you are supposed to drain it before you pour the mixture into the rams

  • very good video, with explained tricks

  • thanks, it looks easy. :)

  • no second coating of sugar?:(

    oh and do you have to refridgerate it?

  • @peanutsthyname

    It's like Gelatine.

    It will basically set if left unrefridgerated, but it'll be pretty runny, and take about a hundred times as long.

  • 2:28 Didn't Have enough for that last One!! LOL

  • I have to make Creme Brulee for my French 2 class. Hopefully it tastes good when it's finished.

  • can i use a regular blow torch instead of the torch which is for cooking purposes ?

    will the ramekins break if i use regular one ?

  • You can and should, since regular blowtorches are also cheaper than those made especially for kitchen usage.

  • I got my blowtorch at home depot some say the bigger the better.

    Cheaper 2

  • this video is very helpful! I want to make some of this for my mom's birthday, which is in a couple of days.

  • u can eat it cold, you can add juice, zest spice etc etc when at the cream boiling stage

  • can you add juice of a fruit during the making of the custard to give it a different flavour?

  • all the times i ate it it was warm, does anyone know if its possible to serve while its still not cold?? or does it just get warm cuz of the torch??

  • looks pretty inniit-blud! i'm getting me somme big -pots o' that!

  • can you use half evaporated milk and half condensed?

  • If you wanted to add a liquor to it, would you add it in with the sugar or do you know how you would add a touch into the top?

  • this MY favorite desert ^_______^

    I love it , thank you so much

  • Comment removed

  • what does heavey cream mean? is it the double cream? or single?

  • it looks like this recipe is a little heavy on your brain, double or single brain cell?

  • double

  • Wow! That looks delicious, making that tonight!

  • definitely heavy or whipping cream

  • what kind of cream is that?

  • it is the heavy cream that she is using.

  • i looove creme brulee, iv been craving on all week, it looks pretty easy thanks

  • what kind of cream are you use is it heavv cream? Thank you

  • That was great!

    it looks delicious!

  • Nice work, we liked your video very much so we embedded it on ChefCommons w/ link back and reference to Youtube. (Let us know if you don't wish for it to be featured)

  • Oh, when they said 325 degrees they meant Fahrenheit. That could've ended badly :P

  • great video! just one question - is there an alternative to melting the sugar on the top if I can't get my hands on a torch? or would grilling it in the oven overcook the creme-custard..

  • broiler

  • instead of castor sugar, try powdered sugar. Regular castor sugar creates a really thick crust while the powdered sugar creates a very nice delicate thin crust. just a pointer!

  • You can put your oven rack on the highest level and put the ramekins right in the middle. Put the setting to a little less than broiling, and chk the brulee in 30 second intervals. However, this risks warming up the brulee really quick :/

  • you can caramelize the sugar by placing it under a broiler(about 2 inches from the heat) until it bubbles

  • O.. so sorry, i got it now (after watch it again)

  • it mentioned about "preheat the oven"...

    but.... can somebody tell me "what temperature"?

  • 325

  • Beautiful. This is the honest and precise way to teach something. She mentions the possiblilities of wrongdoing what you don't see on cable TV. Thank you. I'll keep this one in my favorites.

  • Excellent Dessert, amazing explanation!

  • Thank you very much for your recipe, it's totally great as much as your video too!!!

  • im gonna try tht thnx for telling me

  • fuck that looks good..

    there's something real special about this.

    thanks for the video !

  • Loved the video :)

  • Is this chick going to tell me how of each thing I need?

  • The recipe is in the sidebar

  • Shut the fuck up nativeskuxx.

  • You really are an ass-fold of a stomach flap arent you. I have many mormon friends and they seem to be decent.

    The same cannot be said about half witts, and you are a half-witt. So shut the fuck up you stomach-flap.

  • Oh my..........Seems I have struck a delicate nerve. (Religion to the side for a second) It seems that I have struck a delicate nerve..........You must not like it when people call you a stomach flap or an Ass-Fold.

    Only half witts warrant names like that, and you are indeed a half witt (nativeskuxx - you are an ass fold).

  • Dearest Ass-Fold,

    Am I mormon? I am not, and I dont want to be a mormon nore do I want to hold any role within this religion. As I said prev I have mormon friends (who seem decent) - U r the 1 that suggests I'm mormon.

    Good to see you've fessed up as an ASS FOLD. Only a select few would use their half witts and reveal this with honesty. Indeed Ass Fold, you are one of the few.

    So Ass Fold - I'm going to talk with an adult now, if you want a reply - then dont expect something quick.

  • I WANT A CREME BRULLE

  • So milk wont work? Any CREAM ?

  • Yum, it's my favorite desert.

  • hi, i'm wondering if i can replace the cream with milk?

  • no, it will not hold up!!!

  • question, if we want to make the topping, and we don't have a torch, what can we use?

  • stick it in the oven on broil or between 300 and 500 degrees in order for the sugar to carmelize

  • thank you

  • Or, if your oven has a grill stand, put it under the grill for half a minute

  • your oven should have a broiler option. Put it under there for just a little bit. You might want to re-refrigerate your brulee to chill a bit again.

  • you make it look so easy;(

  • I made this last week and it turned out great. My Dad loved it, too! Thanks for the great recipe =)

  • I'm watching the video on how to make the creme brule, it looks so good, but how much cream and what kind of cream do you use, I do not see that on recipe...

  • Is it heavy cream and how much, the video just says add the cream

  • Yes, it's heavy cream and 2 cups. A link to the recipe is over on the right if you click 'more info' under the video uploader's username (rouxbe).

  • whipping cream, and click the link in the desciption for the full recipe!

  • i made this last week and the top of the brulee (when in the oven) started browning, it was strange, any tips on how to prevent this?

  • The oven is to high, or you have left them to cook for too long,

    *pastry chef*

  • Freedom Pudding!

  • I looooove creme brulee! I'm going to make in on sunday. :D

  • It helps a lot more if you split the beans in the cream while it's heating. You don't lose any then.

  • this was a great vid! i tried it and it was fun and easy and delicious ^_^

  • that looks so delicious

  • I just made the creme brulee. I followed the steps and the outcome was perfect. thanks

  • i'm going to prepare this dessert for my family on new year :D

  • we use bans marie alot!!!

  • can tin foil cups be used in place of ceramic ramekins?

  • so i did the creme brulee for my french food project and the teacher is (from france) and she LOVED IT!!!THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP it was pretty eassy to make once you watched this video so thanks for the video .I KNOW HOW TO MAKE CREME BRULE NNNOOOWW!!!YYAAAAYYY.thank you once again for all the help!!!

  • so after i caramelize the top do i have to serve it after a minuet or can i wait untill i serv it?how long can it stay like that or will it be detriyed after a day?

  • You don't want to caramelize the top until you are ready to serve. If you have guests, it's sometimes fun to have them caramelize the tops themselves. If you wait too long to serve after you caramelize, the tops will get soggy.

  • im using vanilla abstract how much do i add?

  • The rule of thumb is one teaspoon of extract equals a 2-inch piece of bean. Give or take. Enjoy! Also, try to use only REAL vanilla extract as opposed to the cheaper imitation vanilla flavoring or vanillin. Peace.

  • how do you get the wipped cream in a liquid form?

  • look for heavy whipping cream

  • Had it yesterday for the first time and I am hooked. Maybe it was just me but it kinda tasted like frosted flakes.

  • i've actually never tried a real creme brulee before. i tried a creme brulee-flavored hagan-daaz ice-cream, but never a real creme brulee. they sell them, ready-to-bake, in the frozen foods section of my grocery store, but i think i'd rather make mine from scratch one of these days.

  • My gosh, what camera did you USE??????????

  • Muy bien que a toda madre, ahora si se como hacer este postre y lo voy a intentar.SALUDOS TIJUANA; BC. Thanks for this video, i understand how make a creme brule. Bye.

  • Thank you for your clearly shown of step by step how to made creme brulee. So easy & understandeble.

  • How much of each ingredient???

  • Check the description details on the side :)
