[@beemoemoe5855]

actually there's another way of "torching" them which is to heat up a metal spoon directly from the stove (fire) make sure it's hot then just directly put it on the sugar. That should the trick! It'll caramelized! And cracked beautifully 🤤 it won't be creme brulé without the sugar on top 😉

[@jcbenitez9077]

That is not another way of torching but also works.

[@jumpinjohnnyruss]

Not only that; it's good practice for when you have some hash.

[@Darkwolfdetailing]

I been around to many heated up spoons in my life to feel comfortable with this lmao

[@abdullahiahmed2409]

How much your cream mixture please

[@kaylareingold4115]

@@Darkwolfdetailing that sounds like a problem you should share with a therapist

[@aurafernanda3846]

Vanilla beans 3 cups of heavy cream 5 eggs Half a cup of sugar Pinch of salt Caster sugar I’ll try every recipe you post and your book is on my Amazon wish list :)

[@rebeccawickremaratne8524]

Thank you for listing the ingredients.

[@vickilarouge4855]

I love that John doesn’t edit his videos to leave out little mistakes he makes, like accidentally pouring a bit of water into the ramekins. It makes him seem more real and down to earth.

[@WannaStayAWhile]

Yes! Love how he admitted that he burnt a lot of them trying to brûlée them correctly! ❤❤❤❤😅 makes me feel more comfortable trying it out and not beating myself over it not coming out perfectly the first time around 🥲

[@Kyarrix]

I made it yesterday and served it tonight. It was amazing! I even bought caster sugar. It's the richest vanilla custard and I did the top pretty well too. This was my first time using a torch, I bought one for this recipe. I'll practice more now that I have an excuse. The neat thing about this dessert is that it doesn't really have a lot of sugar in it. For those of us who try to go low carbs, high fat It's a great indulgence and a treat without wrecking the entire day in terms of carbs. Half a cup of sugar divided by 6 and a scant teaspoon on top. That's not bad at all! Great recipe, recommend it to anyone.

i love your enthusiasm your comment sounds like me whenever i find a good recipe im waiting for mine to cool its my first time making it and i kinda had to scale the recipe down and didnt know how much vanilla to put so i eyeball it and when i went to watch the next step while the cream was heating up it started boiling over for a second so we will see how it turns out if all is well this recipe is fool proof

I JUST MADE THIS .. ALL GONE FAMILY GOBBLED IT UP IN ONE DAY!! amazing! Absolute perfect recipe. Best I have EVER had. My husband is french, has had many of different Crème brûlée's and agreed. Addicting, tastes good hot or cold. I made a family size in one in a rectangle glassware took around 45 ish in oven... set out to cool 1 hr, put in fridge for 2, used Vitamix to make caster sugar.. by making it more fine.. ate with sliced strawberries! Putting this recipe in our monthly family cook book!! TRY IT!!!! Thank you chef - once again!

[@maryellenrioux2494]

It is easy. I learned to make it at 10 yrs old. Not rocket science

[@bschroader]

John. Yours is the first and only crème brûlée recipe I’ve ever made. A couple of things. I found the 30-40 minutes to be too short for me to get to set. My ramekins are longer and more shallow, yet after 40 minutes, not much firming up around the edges. Extended my cook time at least 20-25 minutes longer to get firm around the edges with slight jiggle in the middle. Another good hack, when pouring custard into the ramekins, I later spent time removing as much foam as I could. Then it occurred to me that using my fat separator could alleviate that process and sure enough, after making a batch today, I spared myself the aggravation of removing foam from each them. The fat separator is great because with foam on top, you can dispense from the bottom. Thanks for teaching me how to make this phenomenal dessert!

[@southofsleep]

Looks so wonderful. My favorite dessert hands down. I once used to frequent a small seafood bistro in San Francisco and get this for dessert each time. They would serve with fresh Raspberries and Blackberries on top. Can't wait to try this recipe!

[@rayanansi563]

It’s been a minute since I had this! Got tired of it after culinary school lol, but this has made me feel like making it as a treat. This recipe is deceptively easy people, definitely go for it even if you’re not super experienced with custards!

[@yosoftballgirl4ever]

Made this with a blackberry coulis and it was awesome! So easy, I ran out of heavy cream so I used vanilla tillamook ice cream for the rest, surprisingly didn’t seem to make a difference! I did have to bake it longer though, not sure if the ice cream did that, or I didn’t use hot enough water, or maybe I was just overly cautious lol. Also didn’t do the torched sugar at my husband’s request, but the blackberry coulis on top was a game changer.
