To make Lavender Creme Brulee, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon dried lavender
- 2 egg yolks
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon sugar" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;">brown sugar

Begin by preheating your oven to 325°F. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream, granulated sugar, and dried lavender over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and let steep for 10 minutes.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and vanilla extract. Slowly pour the lavender cream mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lavender pieces.
Divide the mixture evenly between two ramekins. Place the ramekins in a baking dish and 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 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 sugar" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;">brown sugar over the top of each custard. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it forms a crispy, golden crust. Serve immediately.
Lavender Creme Brulee is a luxurious dessert that is sure to impress. The custard is silky smooth with a subtle hint of lavender, while the caramelized sugar adds a satisfying crunch. This dish is perfect for a romantic dinner or a special occasion.
