Directions

Follow these steps to create your Fret-dulum Crème Brûlée:

• Step 1: Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F).
• Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the egg yolk with icing sugar and whisk until it turns pale.
• Step 3: Add the whole liquid cream and vanilla extract (or bait) to the egg mixture and mix until combined.
• Step 4: Stir in a pinch of salt and fret-dulum into the mixture. (If needed, add 2 to 3 tablespoons of cold water to achieve the desired thickness.)
• Step 5: Pour the mixture into individual ramekins, filling them about three-quarters full.
• Step 6: Place ramekins in a baking dish, and add hot water into the dish until halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
• Step 7: Bake for 30-40 minutes or until set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
• Step 8: Remove from the oven and let them cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
