Earl Grey Creme Brulee

Earl Grey Creme Brulee is a delectable dessert that combines the rich creaminess of traditional creme brulee with the subtle, fragrant notes of Earl Grey tea. This dish is perfect for tea lovers who want to indulge in a sweet treat that is both elegant and comforting.

To make this Earl Grey Creme Brulee, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 Earl Grey tea bag
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar

To start, preheat your oven to 325°F. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the Earl Grey tea bag, allowing it to steep for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bag and set the cream aside to cool.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined. Slowly pour the cooled cream into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent 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 slightly jiggly 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 crust.
The Earl Grey Creme Brulee is a luxurious dessert that is both creamy and fragrant. The custard has a silky texture that melts in your mouth, while the caramelized sugar adds a satisfying crunch. The Earl Grey tea adds a subtle, floral note that complements the richness of the cream. This dish is perfect for a special occasion or a cozy night in.
