Easiest French Crème Brûlée recipe - Including no blow torch method

Easy creme brulee recipe that does not involve any boiling and no water baths to make the custard. I'll also show you the alternative way to create that crispy caramel top without a blow torch as well!
Hi everyone! Welcome back to my kitchen - in today's episode, I'll be showing you how to create the easiest crème brulée ever. I was watching Emily in Paris the other day and saw this scene where Pierre Cadault, the fashion designer was lying on his bed and cracking an entire tray of crème brûlée and it really made me crave my favourite French desserts which I used to consume a lot growing up.
The traditional French method to make this dessert is quite finicky, however I sought to make this recipe as simple as possible so that even the most novice home cook can follow. After cracking countless of eggs and basically consuming just crème brûlée for a whole week, I finally found the most fool-proof and easy method.

[@omegasteve8485]

U can grab a spoon heat it up and use that to melt the sugar for no blow torch

[@sweetLemonist]

Or just melt the sugar in a pan them pour it over the creme brulee. Why do people complicate things?

[@ibunyamaryam8891]

Thank youuu for the hack 😍

[@triplechoclate9627]

this was so helpful!i made 4 mini creme brulees and in the middle of torching the first one it ran out of gas and my back up wouldn't work so i came here to get my Carmel

[@nazminsultana9334]

So after u broil it gonna get warm again. Then what do u do? Refrigerate again? Wont that make the custard hard or change its soft, creamy texture?

[@najmayusuf5603]

😂😂😂 I couldn’t stop laughing . For a sec I thought I misunderstood her title about no blow torch .. only reason I clicked on this video was to find an alternative way of melting the sugar .

[@keshiakat]

I was waiting for you to crack the top of the one that was done in the oven. I wanted to see the difference.

[@LilyStargazer0925]

I am a terrible cook and tried looking at conversion charts but it confused me more. What does the sugar and creme equate to in tablespoons/teaspoons (sugar) and cups (cream)?

[@thelionnol8339]

No blow torch method...just add the granated brown sugar or caramel then heat up a medium spoon on the stove and while it's hot place it lightly on top of the granulated sugar or caramel and allow it to melt down the sugar

[@shellic5166]

Does not heating the cream change anything? If I didn't have to heat the cream that is an extra step taken away and that would be great. Not sure why the cream is heated and what it does if you do and what the difference is if you don't. Any info would be great, thanks!

[@sitianeeza1920]

Hello there, i would love to know what temperature I should set if i use the water bath method?

[@mai]

to cook the custard or for the caramel top? I used the highest possible heat (250) but this would work best if you have a broiler setting (heat from the top)

[@sitianeeza1920]

@@mai the custard ^_^

[@mai]

siti aneeza ahh, I would think somewhere between 180-160 if you want to make the custard using water bath.

Squally when people post recipes they do this weird thing and include the amounts to make it easy to follow the recipient…🙄

It’s all listed at 1:00, also in the description box. The eye rolling was really unnecessary 🙄
