You know those things that make you go hmmmm? This creme brulee recipe is one of them. How can three simple ingredients – one being melted vanilla ice cream – turn into a decadent, creamy dessert for one? Not sure, but it does. 

Cuisine: American
Prep Time: 2 hours to chill 
Cook Time: 50 minutes
Total Time: 2 hours and 50 minutes

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon sugar

Here's how to make it:

1. Put the ice cream into a bowl and melt it in the microwave until it's liquid. Let it cool for about 5 minutes.
2. Whisk the egg yolk into the melted ice cream. Pour the mixture into a ramekin. 
3. Put the ramekin into a baking pan and create a water bath by pouring hot water until it comes halfway up the sides of the ramekin.
4. Bake in a preheated 325-degree F oven for about 40 to 45 minutes, or until set but still moving in the center. Remove from the pan of water and allow it to cool a bit before covering and chilling in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. 
5. When ready to eat, sprinkle the sugar over the top. Use a kitchen torch to melt the sugar and create a shell on top. This can also be done under a broiler, but be sure to let the crème brulee sit out of the fridge at least 30 minutes first.
