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 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.
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!!
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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 ?
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.
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
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
Too much sugar, should shake off the excess. Just enough sugar to stick to the cream burlee. Did you see how hard it takes to break that thick crest? Should be thin and when you eat it, it should not be hard but thin and crispy. My 2 cents.
John Sch No, burning the sugar is only if you holding the flame too long. It is just too thick to eat. I like my crest thin. You can see they tasting the creamy burlee, but you can hear that big crunching of the crest :(
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.
All fine and well with the recipe only you going back and forth in front of the camera which was too close to you made me so dizzy that I could not bear watching any further, sorry!
For some reason in landscape view on the phone only one side of the speaker works, but if I turn it the other way around upside down I get both speakers working... but then all I could hear was his imitation of Donald Trump breathing... plus the video freeze in the middle of the video which I thought may have been a connection issue on my end until I saw others mention it in the comments. I’m sure it’s a good recipe but this video was just uncomfortable to watch.
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.
My left ear enjoyed it!
Get new headphones

Absolutely marvelous recipe. Delicious!
oops! the video freezes at 4:13

So good chef 👩🍳👍❤️
i tried your recipe ..perfect on first go ,im back for more ...thanks fore sharing
09:26 'If you come on a course here, we'll even sell you one. How about that?' That gave me a giggle!
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.
I need to try. Look amazing
My right ear would like this video
Fantastic Sir just followed the recipe and impressed all thank you
Mohammad Arif Shaikh it was good? should I try?
Yes exactly
Ingredients 16.907 oz cream (1 qt) 3.5 oz sugar Temp. 115C = 239F
made this about 3 times, better than the restaurants
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?

I like this way to make the creme brulee!! Thanks chef!!
Wow! Technique! Thanks so much
What a good layer of caramel chef, well done!
It's the best recipe ever 🎉
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.
Great video! I've never had creme brulee but I can't imagine how it could be bad.
Looks very yummy. I cannot wait to try this. You make it look very easy. I just subscribed.
Awesome video!!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!
I'm making this right now and its turning out to be amazing!!!
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
Love......it's.....thank you
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!
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
It’s really good recipe! Easy and delicious!
I can't watch all de video. Is there any problem?
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.
Great video !!! Very informative ... Thanks
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
Love this recipe, did It for my dinner party of six, everyone loved it, a big thank you from me. x
Awseome! Im making this tomorrow for 4 people.
Is the degrees in Celsius, or Fahrenheit?
One of the best creme brulee recipes
I tried this recipe and it is great. But my vanilla seeds went to bottom, they didn't stay in cream, why?
I cannot find the printed recipe anywhere. Can't understand all the dialog.
115 degrees?
When you zoom in, the sound is only on the left side but if u unzoom then its normal like witf
love this video! Thank you for sharing it.
Mine were perfect and yum....thank you:)
Had a brulee in a restaurant once, with a very flat smooth sugar layer. Almost like a little disc.
How do I make this?
fantastic recipe :) I love it:) My Creme Brulee is delicious :) from your recipe thank you :)Chef
Did he say 115 degrees?
THESE ARE SPANISH NATILLAS , A DESSERT of Spanish origen and as many others FRENCH desserts
A part of the video is missing - sound only.
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.
I like the creme Brulee :) thank you Chef
Hi please tell me could i bake it in cake tin. Not separately. ????
Mines was perfect!! everyone loved it
TY, Great Video
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.
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
He didn’t separate the egg yokes?
I like your cooking system. How can cantact with you.
I also study chef kok in Nederland
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.
mine came out great thanks ^.^
Vanilla paste is good as well if you can't afford the bean pods.
Too much sugar, should shake off the excess. Just enough sugar to stick to the cream burlee. Did you see how hard it takes to break that thick crest? Should be thin and when you eat it, it should not be hard but thin and crispy.
My 2 cents.
yued9898 i agree with your 2 cents. otherwise you risk burning it too much. then it is a bad flavor
John Sch No, burning the sugar is only if you holding the flame too long. It is just too thick to eat. I like my crest thin. You can see they tasting the creamy burlee, but you can hear that big crunching of the crest :(
I agree with both of your 2 cents
can you write this ingredients for 1 person ?
You don't temper the eggs?
great thanks!!!
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?
is it 115 degree Celsius?
kncraft great question! 115°C=239°F both are pretty mild
Time???
Excellent method.btw you look like the guy in "about time"
loved this video; however, in the minute 3 the image freezed
Do yourself a favor and put the pod in the cream too. Then just pick it out. Maximum flavor.
Subtítulos por favor. La mitad del mundo habla castellano. Desde Argentina.
Yummy
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.
Pouring boiling cream on top of raw eggs scares me a bit. I will definitely try this method next time.
mi right ear feels lonely
the sound in the video is horrible all I can hear is his extremely heavy breathing!
lol dis guys not french he just said "in go our burnts" 8:23
and then they made out
All fine and well with the recipe only you going back and forth in front of the camera which was too close to you made me so dizzy that I could not bear watching any further, sorry!

“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!
