Salted Caramel Espresso Creme Brulee

Salted Caramel Espresso Creme Brulee is a decadent dessert that combines the rich flavors of espresso and salted caramel with the creamy texture of creme brulee. This dish is perfect for impressing guests or indulging in a special treat.

To make this Salted Caramel Espresso Creme Brulee, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon espresso powder
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon salted caramel sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar (for topping)

To begin, preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream, whole milk, and espresso powder over medium heat until it begins to steam. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, salted caramel sauce, and vanilla extract until well combined. Slowly pour the warm milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
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 from the oven and let cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, sprinkle the turbinado sugar evenly over the top of each custard. Use a kitchen torch to melt and caramelize the sugar until it forms a crispy, golden-brown crust.
The Salted Caramel Espresso Creme Brulee is now ready to serve. This dish is a perfect combination of creamy, sweet, and salty flavors, with a rich espresso undertone. The crispy caramelized sugar topping adds a satisfying crunch to each bite.
