Cooking Creme Brulee
*You are making a custard technically, cooking a custard in a water bath allows it to cook evenly and stay moist. You can substitute vanilla extract for the vanilla bean. Creme Brulee is a classic French dessert. This recipe is super easy and can be made ahead, it is a do-ahead dessert. When looking for how to cook creme brulee look for recipes that are simple and easy as French desserts are based on that philosophy*
Never made them before. Maybe I should try it altho I dont have one of those kitchen blow torches. Probably cause i would end up burning the kitchen down trying to be smart with it. But yeah Nikki I think I will defo try it. Am just wondering what temp my oven should be since mine is a fan assisted oven go's up to 240.

@LordServius You can bake it at 240 it will just take a bit longer, I would say it will take somewhere between 1:15-1:30 for it too cook. Just make sure that the center is set and your all set. And for tips on how to do the top without a torch just check out my video "how to torch creme brulee- with or without a torch" Let me know how it goes!
