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:
- Put the ice cream into a bowl and melt it in the microwave until it's liquid. Let it cool for about 5 minutes.
- Whisk the egg yolk into the melted ice cream. Pour the mixture into a ramekin.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
