Comment préparer Amazing Lavender Crme Brle
- **Infuse the Cream:** In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 2 cups heavy cream, 2 tablespoons dried culinary lavender buds, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until just simmering.
- **Steep the Lavender:** Remove from heat and let the mixture steep at room temperature for at least 1 hour, or preferably, cover and refrigerate overnight for maximum lavender flavor.
- **Prepare the Egg Yolks:** In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large egg yolks and ¾ cup granulated sugar until pale yellow and thickened.
- **Combine Custard:** Gradually whisk the warm (barely simmering) infused cream into the egg yolk mixture. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a measuring cup to remove any lavender buds or lumps.
- **Bake the Crème Brûlée:** Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Pour the custard into six 8-ounce ramekins. Place the ramekins in a shallow baking pan and add enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins (bain-marie).
- **Bake:** Cover the pan loosely with foil and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the custards are just set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- **Cool and Chill:** Remove from the oven and let the ramekins cool completely in the water bath. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool to room temperature before refrigerating uncovered for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- **Make the Caramel Topping:** At least 30 minutes before serving, sprinkle each crème brûlée generously with about 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar.
- **Caramelize the Sugar:** Use a kitchen blowtorch to carefully caramelize the sugar, moving the flame slowly and evenly until the sugar melts and turns a rich golden brown.
- **Chill and Serve:** Return the crème brûlée to the refrigerator for a few minutes to allow the caramel to harden before serving immediately and enjoying!
