It is an elegant dessert that can be dressed-up in many different ways. You can add fresh fruit on the side or add 1 teaspoon of ground ginger when heating the cream to create a Ginger Creme Brulee. 2 cups heavy
or whipping cream In a one-quart saucepan over medium heat, heat cream until tiny bubbles form around the edge. DO NOT BOIL. In a heavy two-quart saucepan, with a wire whisk, beat egg yolks with sugar until blended; slowly stir small amounts of the hot cream into egg mixture. This combines the two without raising the temperature of the eggs too rapidly, this can cause the eggs to turn into scrambled egg brulee. Cook over medium-low
heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and coats the
back of a spoon well (about 15 minutes). Be very careful not to
boil the mixture or it will curdle. About one hour
before serving, preheat broiler. Place brown sugar in a small sieve;
with a spoon, press the sugar through the sieve over the top of
the chilled custard. Broil for 2-3 minutes until the sugar just
melts. Refrigerate until ready to serve. The sugar will form a crisp
crust over the custard. Keep in mind that if the sugar crust is
made too early in the day, the sugar with become moist and soft,
thus losing its crispness.
