This was SO incredibly helpful. Creme brulee is my absolute favorite dessert but I've always been super intimidated and haven't made it myself. This makes it feel doable. Any chance you've made a vid about French macrons?💕

[unemilifleur]

Man those wiggle comparaison are so good. There are so many crème brûlée recipes that don’t even talk about how to know if it’s done.

[raresrusu]

the best explanation i have ever seen. ty

I know it's not technically a "brûlée"(which means burned), but I love melting the sugar in a pan till it turns a nice amber color, then pouring the molten sugar on the custard. It creates this perfectly smooth and consistent "glass" on top that has the most delightful shattering sound!

I know it’s not traditional but I prefer a dry caramel poured over the top to the flamed version. Just seems like you get the right amount actual caramel flavor and not too much burnt sugar taste.

You are seriously so amazing. I have never seen a channel so informative about baking before

[LeonetteGo]

As a homebaker with no professional training this is easily one of my favorite baking channel.
Thanks for these amazing tips! 💕

[theblackkat]

You inspire me a lot, this is very informative and saves me the trouble of experimenting something and it turning out bad.

Thank you this also helps me in another way.

For the winter solstice, I attempt an orange curd chocolate crust tart. The Sunrise Tart; it's eaten for breakfast after I sing up the sun. The orange represents the rising sun overcoming the chocolate darkness. They pair well too. But I struggle with curd so I wanted to bake it but it's remarkably difficult to Google baked custards, its always about the curd. Curd is more flavorful with its citrus vs a custard which is more delicate but i dint care I just want it to work. I forgot I can use creme brulee.

I cannot wait to use this for the 2023 solstice but I'll definitely practice beforehand. So again thank you.

Ps. If you manage to see this little comment and want to try this, you can also make candied orange slices to top it with. I recommend mini tarts so one slice per person. You can use lemon but I figured orange and chocolate was more in theme for winter.

Your teaching is beyond excellence. Even at my old age I have not done any baking with vanilla bean. I’m actually brewing my first vanilla that will be ready in months. But you showed a vanilla bean here. I would love to learn more on how to use them. I love vanilla!

[saltyduckie]

this makes so much sense!! i made creme brûlée once and wondered why the filling was sort of weird, now i see why 😭

[cheryl]

I realize there aren't many ingredients to a creme brulee. And there's only so many ways to make it. But it's one of my favorite desserts. So, I came up with my own recipe a few years ago. It took me a while because, I have no training. I could have used this video back then.
But! Now that I've come up with my own recipe. I don't order it when I'm out anymore. It's not worth wasting my money, when I can make multiple creme brulees at home, that are to my preference. Lol

Undertorch and you only have slightly caramalized sugar crumbs on top.
Torch perfectly and your left with a solid sugar crust that has a nice crunch.
Over torch and you can try to find the torched remains of the brullee under the ruins of your burned down house

I use to be extremely intimidated to make crème. Everyone told me it was so easy to mess. I tried for the first time a week ago and it came out perfect and it was so much easier than I could’ve ever imagined. The hardest part is waiting for it to cool off in the fridge lol. My favorite part was torching the sugar!

[windsfriend]

I am baking creme brulee as I'm writing this. I wasn't sure if it baked enough, so I specifically looked for this video to check. It's underbaked! So I'm giving it some extra time in the oven. Thanks for such an informative video 😊

[WolfPack]

Honest making creme brulee was the best part of my baking class. Such a simple recipe can have such amazing flavor

[Subculturevolt]

We all need more friends like you, just hanging out bored let’s bake some stuff!

[TeenagePrince]

I love how the ovwr baked on in this vid is almost exactly the same as the proper one

[theblackkat]

I know my friend who can't cook to save his life wouldn't watch this. But if he ever wanted to start learning. You'll be one of the first people I'll show him to.
