Coffee creme brulee

Coffee creme brulee is a delicious twist on the classic French dessert, combining the rich and creamy texture of creme brulee with the bold and aromatic flavor of espresso coffee. This decadent dessert is perfect for coffee lovers and makes for an impressive end to any meal.

Ingredients:

3 cups light sour cream
690g
8 yolks
140g
3/4 cup sugar
170g
1 cup espresso coffee
230g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
2. Prepare the Mixture:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the light sour cream, egg yolks, ½ cup (115g) of the sugar, and the espresso coffee. Whisk together until well combined and smooth.
3. Fill Ramekins:
- Pour the mixture evenly into 6-8 ramekins, filling each about ¾ full.
4. Prepare the Bain-Marie:
- Place the filled ramekins in a large baking dish. Pour hot water into the baking dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins. This water bath will help cook the custard evenly and prevent cracking.
5. Bake:
- Carefully place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 40-50 minutes, or until the custards are set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
6. Cool:
- Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature. Once cooled, cover the ramekins with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
7. Caramelize the Sugar Topping:
- Just before serving, evenly sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup (55g) of sugar over the tops of the chilled custards. Use a kitchen torch to carefully melt and caramelize the sugar until it forms a crisp, golden-brown crust. Alternatively, you can broil the custards in the oven for a few minutes, but watch closely to prevent burning.
8. Serve:
- Allow the brûlées to sit for a couple of minutes to let the caramelized sugar set. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful balance of creamy coffee custard and crunchy caramelized sugar.

Tips:

- Ensure to temper the egg yolks by gradually adding the hot espresso coffee to prevent curdling.

- Strain the mixture through a fine sieve before baking to remove any cooked egg bits for a smoother texture.

- Allow the dessert to cool at room temperature before refrigerating it to prevent condensation on the surface.

- For an even caramelized sugar crust, use a kitchen torch to broil the sugar until golden and crisp.

- Chill the creme brulee for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best texture and flavor.

This coffee creme brulee is a delightful fusion of creamy custard and robust coffee flavor. With its caramelized sugar crust and silky-smooth texture, it's sure to satisfy your sweet tooth and impress your guests. Enjoy your homemade gourmet dessert!
