Zubereitung von Cream Brulee With Strawberries
- In a heavy saucepan, heat 2 cups of heavy cream with 1 vanilla bean (split and scraped) or 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract over low heat.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large egg yolks and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until light and thick.
- Slowly pour the warm cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over very low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture coats the back of the spoon (do not boil).
- Remove from heat and remove the vanilla bean (if using).
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any lumps.
- Pour the custard into 6 (4-ounce) ramekins or a shallow 1-quart casserole dish.
- Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Before serving, sprinkle a thin layer of dark brown sugar over the top of each ramekin.
- Using a kitchen torch, caramelize the sugar until golden brown. (Alternatively, broil in a preheated oven until caramelized, watching carefully to prevent burning.)
- Let cool for 5 minutes to allow the sugar to harden.
- To serve, crack the caramelized sugar with the back of a spoon. Top with fresh strawberries, if desired.
- **Optional: Poached Pears Variation:** Peel 6 medium winter pears, leaving stems intact. In a 5-quart saucepan, combine 2 cups water, 1 1/3 cups sugar, and 1/4 cup lemon juice. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Add pears, simmer covered for 15 minutes, then uncovered for another 15 minutes. Refrigerate overnight in the syrup. Serve pears topped with Crème Brûlée.
