Lavender Honey Creme Brulee
Lavender Honey Creme Brulee is a decadent dessert that combines the floral notes of lavender with the sweetness of honey. This dish is perfect for impressing guests or indulging in a special treat.
To make Lavender Honey Creme Brulee, you will need the following ingredients per serving:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon dried lavender buds
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 egg yolks
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar (for topping)
To begin, preheat your oven to 325°F. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream, dried lavender buds, and honey 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, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Strain the lavender cream mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
Divide the mixture evenly between two ramekins and place them in a baking dish. Fill the dish with hot water until it reaches 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 turbinado sugar evenly over the top of each custard. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it forms a crispy, golden-brown crust.
The Lavender Honey Creme Brulee is a luxurious dessert that is both creamy and fragrant. The lavender adds a subtle floral note that pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the honey. The crispy caramelized sugar on top provides a satisfying crunch that contrasts with the smooth custard underneath.
