Chef, I owe you big time. I have used your instructions many-a-time to makes this. It is the best. I even served it up to a French mate, who was delighted. Thankyou so much.
Amazing results after following all the instructions. I watched to many vídeos on this reciepe and non of them gave me the finished product that I was expecting to achieve. Thank you so much for this amazing technique.
Thanks Chef. I will definitely try this method of bringing the cream to a quick boil first! Very good instructional video on how to improve on a classic.
Agreed...I've only been cooking for about 50 years and this is the first time I've seen the liaison handled in such a fashion. But I saw it with my own eyes so what can I say? Oh well, the proof of the crème brûle is in the eating! Good video overall. Sound quality and lighting are great. I make this dish frequently and don't need quantities but I wish that the producers of cooking videos would keep in mind that most of their viewers will be new cooks looking for good recipes. New cooks need quantities specified as well as unambiguous instructions. "Keeping it brief" is not the way to win the loyalty of these people.
Threat_Dynamics i agree with you 100% about showing the measurements. i am not new but also i am not a chef. i just love cooking/baking. i want to try this for the first time soon. but he did in fact share the ingredient measurements. there was one point in the video where the video froze and he kept talking about the serving dishes. i think perhaps it was an after thought edit IN. still, i wish i could've seen that visual. 500ml double creme 100g caster sugar 5 egg yokes 2 whole eggs 1 fat juicy vanilla pod all in all good video. informative
@@johnsch1320No sabe cuanto le agradezco su amabilidad de compartir la receta, no he terminado de ver el video pero la estaba buscando en la caja de herramientas donde casi siempre la dejan.
Thank you for the video!! This is the best instructional video I have seen for CB. This is my first attempt. I used 2/3 vanilla extract (could not find vanilla pods in time for Thanksgiving) 1/3 lemon extract, a pinch of salt and a pinch of nutmeg. Fingers crossed for success!! Cheers!!
I tried several recipes. There are no changes in the basic ingredients HOWEVER the technique for this recipe is nothing but PERFECT. At one point I thought that maybe the cooking temperature was wrong. I WAS WRONG. Do not hesitate and follow the recipe. Resting the mix for 30 min or until the next day before reheating gave me the best results. Good luck.
You do make absolutely the best creme brûlée I made it and it’s delicious I am sad you are not downloading for cooking videos thank you for this great recipe
I got bored and fancied a creme brule (it's 25 passed 2 am lol) Just followed your creme brule recipe, flash boiled the cream, added to the eggs and whisked as I was doing it and it's worked out perfectly, the vanilla pods were Dr oetker and cost 6 quid :0 lol, the only thing I did differently was I also added the vanilla skins after adding the seeds, also the vanilla pod tied into a knot thanks for that tip, I also put the tea towel under the creme brule. They have been in 10 minutes. Update I left them in the oven until 5 passed 3 am. I took them out and they have set perfectly, I watched 4 brule videos and followed this one, thanks for a great tutorial, just got to leave them in the fridge overnight, I tasted the vanilla cream before cooking and it was lovely.
daniel marson roberts Well at least now I know I’m not the only person who gets random urges to bake in the middle of the night. I’m sure my neighbors think I’m either crazy or on drugs.
Loved this video he is so charming! And that vanilla looks amazingly rich I've never seen it like that! Blink and you'll miss it haha , that's exactly what i did , and also now i understand why it became so thick. Very informative and helpful!
made this yesterday. worked great. did 473 ml heavy cream since this is whats in the bottle at the store, 7 tbsp castor sugar, 1 vanilla pod as in the video. did 300 degrees which is higher than he recommended. tried his setting for 45 minutes...didnt work, was still liquid. 300 solved it perfectly. his superheating worked awesome.
+Jay: "His setting" is 115* C which is about 240 degrees American. That should have worked after 45 minutes. Oh well, bumping it up to 150*C (300*F) produced your desired result so next time you know better.
Great instructional video! I'm making Creme Brulee for the first time tomorrow night (as a test run for a party Wednesday) and I will follow this recipe to a T. Question: When I'm first heating the cream, sugar and vanilla bean seeds, can I add the scraped out pod to the cream as well? I've seen other videos do just that and I'm wondering why you don't. Does it impart a bitterness or some other unknown? Thank you, Bob
The lure of Creme Brulee is a two-fold experience. The creamy silkiness of the sweet vanilla custard, the fun of cracking the sugar, and the two textures when put together. (Swooon) If you put in refrigerator--after a few hours or even sooner...the sugar will melt out into a thick syrup. Trust me, it's still delicious---but no 'snap'. Hope this answer helps.
My question is how long will the vanilla custard itself without the crackle top stay in the fridge before going bad? Would like to make it ahead and just add the crackle top just before serving. Also wondering if you could freeze the vanilla custard?
I'm sorry for late reply. And I also apologize but your initial question was not this. Anyway, up to 2 - 3 days max with plastic wrap directly covering and touching custard. I wouldn't attempt freezing due to 'texture disruption'. I.e such as becoming watery during thawing.
Great recipe thank you! Question: when bringing the cream, sugar & vanilla to almost boiling point and leave to infuse for 5 mins, do you turn the heat off? Then just start up the heat again when ready to superheat? thanks
How many have you tried so far and what have been the best flavorings you've liked? I have been doing 1 quart heavy cream to every 6 egg yolks and it's great, but if this way is better I want to try it.
5:53 won't doing this cause the eggs to become scrambled? i've read everywhere and it's recommended to never allow the mixture to come to a boil, and to slowly temper the eggs. this is the first time the opposite done.
Hi Jim, Great video. Tried this recipe twice but it took much longer in the oven to get them to set as such. I am using an electric fan oven. Should I increase the temperature a bit? They were still liquid after 35 / 40 mins ?
Haven't tried this yet but had one or 2 questions. I noticed he added 2 whole eggs to the 5 yolks, does this improve or otherwise significantly affect the outcome? So far the other recipes for creme brulee I have seen mainly just use yolks.
excellent and highly informative video. My only reservation is that the video freezes at 3.41 - a great pity because it is demonstrating important stuff.
My creme brulee's won't set. I have no idea why either, I just follow what you say in the video. Can you give me any ideas on what I may be doing wrong or any solutions please? Much appreciated if you could.
Like ANY recipe, you have to make it your own, whether you prefer a shallow thin layer of sugar or desire a thicker layer is all preference... not wrong. remember cooking is just like you opinions......yours
I made it but it came out crumbly and melted like chottage cheese, it wasn't stable like pudding .. Even after a looong time in the ofen! It just doesn't get hard, why??
You probably put the hot cream into the egg yolks too fast instead of a little at a time to keep the egg yolks from cooking. I couldn't believe how fast he added the hot cream. That's a real no no in making Creme Brulee.
Chef, I owe you big time. I have used your instructions many-a-time to makes this. It is the best. I even served it up to a French mate, who was delighted. Thankyou so much.
I've followed this video about five times now with great success! Thank you very much 🙏

My right ear would like this video
115 degrees?
TY, Great Video
Awseome! Im making this tomorrow for 4 people.
Can you put them back in the fridge once you have made the crackle topping? If so how long can you leave them in the finished state in the fridge?

One of the best creme brulee recipes
oops! the video freezes at 4:13
3:45
This is THE best creme brulee recipe I've made so far.
How many have you tried so far and what have been the best flavorings you've liked? I have been doing 1 quart heavy cream to every 6 egg yolks and it's great, but if this way is better I want to try it.
5:53 won't doing this cause the eggs to become scrambled? i've read everywhere and it's recommended to never allow the mixture to come to a boil, and to slowly temper the eggs. this is the first time the opposite done.
Agree. Can't understand why everyone else does it differently.
They don't. Just trust the process.
great thanks!!!
Is the degrees in Celsius, or Fahrenheit?
Hi Jim, Great video. Tried this recipe twice but it took much longer in the oven to get them to set as such. I am using an electric fan oven. Should I increase the temperature a bit? They were still liquid after 35 / 40 mins ?
The temperature is defit way too low. Every other recipe I've done has been 325 farenheit or higher
In the vid its 150C = 300F
Exelent vid mate! Subscribed!
I work has a chef and i tend to overcook the damn things! They obviously set in the fridge and not in the oven! 😂😂😂
When your Creme Brulee is done, a toothpick inserted should come out clean.
Haven't tried this yet but had one or 2 questions. I noticed he added 2 whole eggs to the 5 yolks, does this improve or otherwise significantly affect the outcome? So far the other recipes for creme brulee I have seen mainly just use yolks.
Years late, but it basically makes the texture less dense
Yummy
excellent and highly informative video. My only reservation is that the video freezes at 3.41 - a great pity because it is demonstrating important stuff.
mine came out great thanks ^.^
I like your cooking system. How can cantact with you.
I also study chef kok in Nederland
Excellent method.btw you look like the guy in "about time"
I cannot find the printed recipe anywhere. Can't understand all the dialog.
I tried this recipe and it is great. But my vanilla seeds went to bottom, they didn't stay in cream, why?
Had a brulee in a restaurant once, with a very flat smooth sugar layer. Almost like a little disc.
How do I make this?
Tried this method & it worked out great! No curdles & they set nicely :0)
Jon McClelland So it was delicious?
Jon McClelland how did you get away with not cooking the yokes?
When you zoom in, the sound is only on the left side but if u unzoom then its normal like witf
I can't watch all de video. Is there any problem?
He didn’t separate the egg yokes?
Vanilla paste is good as well if you can't afford the bean pods.
A part of the video is missing - sound only.
is it 115 degree Celsius?
kncraft great question! 115°C=239°F both are pretty mild
Time???
I have to be honest. I clicked the video because I thought you were Gilbert Gottfried.
THESE ARE SPANISH NATILLAS , A DESSERT of Spanish origen and as many others FRENCH desserts
My creme brulee's won't set. I have no idea why either, I just follow what you say in the video. Can you give me any ideas on what I may be doing wrong or any solutions please? Much appreciated if you could.
DubBobDub Thank you, I figured it out on the second attempt.
You don't temper the eggs?
can you write this ingredients for 1 person ?
loved this video; however, in the minute 3 the image freezed
Like ANY recipe, you have to make it your own, whether you prefer a shallow thin layer of sugar or desire a thicker layer is all preference... not wrong. remember cooking is just like you opinions......yours
Hi please tell me could i bake it in cake tin. Not separately. ????
It’s a great recipe but my oven needs to be hotter than 115c. Next time I’ll try 120/125c so it bakes correctly.
im so jealous I want some!
mi right ear feels lonely
“if you have pressing things going on”... I know I always decide to make creme brulee when I have pressing things going on. 🤦🏼♂️
Funny me too!
Subtítulos por favor. La mitad del mundo habla castellano. Desde Argentina.
Cameraman sounds like she hasnt eaten in days
"Yes, please..."
Do yourself a favor and put the pod in the cream too. Then just pick it out. Maximum flavor.
I made it but it came out crumbly and melted like chottage cheese, it wasn't stable like pudding .. Even after a looong time in the ofen! It just doesn't get hard, why??
Maybe you did not used heavy cream and the wrong proportion of eggs. I've done mine using this recipe a lot of times and always comes out perfect!
It sounds like you scrambled the eggs when you made the custard.
You probably put the hot cream into the egg yolks too fast instead of a little at a time to keep the egg yolks from cooking. I couldn't believe how fast he added the hot cream. That's a real no no in making Creme Brulee.
Lol this goes against everything I was taught when cooking creme brule
Looks amazing! No to get a blow torch...then we feast!!
The way they eat it looks like they Creme brûlée their pants!!
I have my right headphone in and I thought he was a mime
I laughed out loud on that one, mate == thank you!
Pouring boiling cream on top of raw eggs scares me a bit. I will definitely try this method next time.
