Coffee Crème brûlée

I made some Crème brûlée with VIA instant coffee. Came out delicious.

 

I trimmed the recipe down to a four serving size.

 

In a heavy saucepan combine:

* 500ml of full/whipping cream

* 125ml sugar*

* 1 packet of Starbucks VIA

* Seeds scraped from one vanilla bean

* The leftover vanilla bean

 

Bring to a boil and mix until coffee and sugar are dissolved. Remove from heat, cover and let stand 30 minutes. Fire up your oven to 160°C (325°F).

 

I a bowl whisk:

* 3 large egg yolks

* 1 large egg

 

Then slowly whisk in the coffee cream mixture.

 

Fill your ramekins and place them in a pan. Fill pan half way up the side of the ramekin with hot water. Bake for about 50 minutes until when jiggled on the middle moves.

 

Let cool in fridge for a few hours or overnight.

 

Remove, dust with sugar and Brûlée with torch or place under hot broiler for 1-2 minutes.

 

Enjoy.
