How to Make Creme Brulee For Two
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, milk, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and vanilla extract until light and frothy.
- Slowly whisk about 1/3 of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks to temper them, then gradually whisk in the remaining cream mixture until well combined.
- Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a measuring cup or bowl to remove any lumps.
- Divide the custard evenly between two (4-ounce) ramekins.
- Place the ramekins in a larger baking dish. Pour enough hot water into the baking dish to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins (this creates a water bath for even cooking).
- Carefully transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the custards are set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool completely at room temperature.
- Once cooled, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Just before serving, sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar over the top of each creme brulee.
- Using a kitchen torch, carefully caramelize the sugar until golden brown. (Alternatively, you can broil the ramekins in the oven for 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.)
- Serve immediately and garnish with fresh strawberries.
