To make this Orange Cranberry Creme Brulee, you will need the following ingredients per serving:
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1 tablespoon dried cranberries
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Cooking Tips:
- Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar on top of the creme brulee.
- Be sure to strain the mixture before pouring it into the ramekins to ensure a smooth texture.
- Allow the creme brulee to cool completely before serving to allow the sugar to harden.
To prepare the Orange Cranberry Creme Brulee, start by preheating your oven to 325°F. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and whole milk over medium heat until it begins to simmer. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, orange zest, and dried cranberries. Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve and pour it into a ramekin.
Place the ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly. Remove the ramekins from the water bath and allow them to cool to room temperature.
Sprinkle a thin layer of brown sugar on top of each ramekin and use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it forms a hard crust. Serve immediately and enjoy the creamy, citrusy, and tangy flavors of this Orange Cranberry Creme Brulee.
