Cardamom Orange Creme Brulee

Cardamom Orange Creme Brulee is a delectable dessert that combines the warm, spicy flavor of cardamom with the bright, citrusy taste of orange. This dish is perfect for those who love to indulge in rich, creamy desserts with a touch of exotic flavor.

To make this Cardamom Orange Creme Brulee, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp ground cardamom
- 1/2 tsp orange zest
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp brown sugar

To start, preheat your oven to 325°F. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream, ground cardamom, and orange zest over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and let it steep for 10 minutes.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined. Slowly pour the cream mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.
Divide the mixture evenly between two ramekins and place them in a baking dish. Fill the dish with enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set but still jiggles slightly in the center.
Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
When ready to serve, sprinkle a thin layer of brown sugar over the top of each custard. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it forms a crispy, golden-brown crust.
The Cardamom Orange Creme Brulee is a rich and creamy dessert with a warm, spicy flavor from the cardamom and a bright, citrusy taste from the orange zest. The caramelized sugar on top adds a satisfying crunch to every bite. This dish is perfect for a special occasion or a romantic dinner for two.
