Finishing Creme Brulee with or without a kitchen torch or blowtorch

RECIPE:
6 individual servings of Creme Brulee
2Tbs of white sugar per serving
Kitchen torch or broiler in your oven

Using your kitchen torch:
Let your Creme Brulee come to room temperature. Take out if fridge 30minutes before serving. Sprinkle with 2 Tbs of sugar and tap around dish to create an even layer. Put your kitchen torch on high and go over the sugar until it is all melted and slightly brown. Stop and let sugar settle. Go over again until there are some burnt spots and the whole thing has a golden brown color.

Using your broiler:
Take Creme Brulee directly from the fridge. It will heat up a little bit in the over. If you dont have a kitchen torch you can use your broiler. Sprinkle the top of the Creme Brulee with 2 Tbs of sugar and tap around so it's even. Put your broiler on high and put Creme Brulee as close to the flame as possible, keep a close eye on it and turn if necessary. Remove when golden brown and slightly burnt and ENJOY!!

[90scoolll]

can we find the torch of creme brulee in super market?

[NikkiDinkiCooking]

@90scoolll it's possible, but it is more of a specialty item, so maybe not. It's not that special though, I'm sure you could find it at target, williams-sonoma, bed bath and beyond maybe. If you look online you might get the best price, amazon has a lot of selection. Good luck!!

If I remove my creme brulees from the fridge and but them under the broiler, wouldn't my ramekins shatter?

[NikkiDinkiCooking]

@punkgush They wont be under the broiler too long if you can get them really close to the flame, and because its not like from the freezer to the broiler the temp difference from the fridge to the broiler shouldnt be enough to make them shatter. Let me know how they turned out!!

Thank you so much for this video. I'm making creme brulee as another dessert for Thanksgiving dinner and I didn't get a torch (completely forgot) and this video helped me understand the broiler method!! :)
