This recipe is super easy--a rich and delicious twist to an old favorite. Cook the sugar top using a kitchen torch or just place under your broiler.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 4 egg yolks

  • 1 tablespoon white sugar

  • 1 cup eggnog

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 4 tablespoons white sugar

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Whisk egg yolks and 1 tablespoon sugar together in a bowl until sugar is dissolved. Whisk in eggnog, cream, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.

  3. Pour eggnog mixture into 4 ramekins. Place ramekins in baking dish; pour in enough boiling water to come half way up the sides of ramekins.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until set, about 1 hour. Cool slightly, cover ramekins with plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 4 hours.

  5. Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

  6. Remove plastic wrap from ramekins. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar in a thin layer over top of each ramekin. Brown the sugar using a kitchen torch or under a broiler until golden and caramelized, 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Cook's Note:

Browning sugar to finish the creme brulee can be done with a kitchen torch instead of using a broiler, if desired.
