3-ingredient crème brûlée
Serves 1
INGREDIENTS
- ½ a cup of vanilla ice cream
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar
INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1
Scoop your ice cream into a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds or until completely melted. Leave to cool for 5 minutes.
Step 2
Add the egg yolk into the melted ice cream and whisk until everything is fully combined and the mixture is smooth.
Step 3
Pour the mixture into an oven-safe ramekin and place the ramekin into a baking dish. Fill the dish with boiling water until it comes halfway up each side of the ramekin.
Step 4
Bake for 40-50 minutes at 160°c. The crème brûlée should be set but still jiggly in the centre. Allow to cool and then remove the ramekin from the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Step 5
Remove the ramekin from the fridge 30 minutes before adding the sugar on top to allow it to reach room temperature.
Step 6
Sprinkle your sugar on top and using a kitchen blowtorch, torch the sugar until it gives a crispy top to your dessert.
