How to Prepare Emile Henry Creme Brulee?
My personally tried recipe process for the desert is as follows;
First fall, take one normal size cooking pot and add the heavy cream of ingredients in it. Afterward, add the vanilla extract or whatever you are using in it. Also, add a pinch of salt and properly mix them until it gives you a fine texture. Later on, start cooking it over a low heat flame. The cooking should be just for a few minutes and then turn off the stove and leave it aside to cool down.
In another bowl, break five eggs and separate their yolks and whites as well. The next step is to add half a cup of sugar to the egg yolks and start whisking them. Afterward, you are required to add half a cup of cream into this egg mixture, and after stirring it well, pour the prepared first half of the mixture in it.
After giving it a fine texture, take a baking dish and fill the baking dish with hot water. Make sure the water is halfway up in the dish.
Put the ramekins in the baking dish and pour the mixture of egg and cream into it. Put it in the preheated oven for around 30 to 40 minutes, after which we take them out of the oven. Put them aside and let them cool precisely to serve depending upon the taste of the people. Some people refrigerate from a few hours to several days.
Aesthetic Presentation
For serving, the presentation also varies from person to person. In the case of representation, it is recommended to serve each ramekin with the topping of caster sugar. The layer you put of the cast sugar on the vanilla bowls should be light, not so thick.
For more enhancement in presentation, you can also use a blowtorch to melt the cast sugar over the creme bowls so that the color might get brown and look attractive before serving.
