SOUS VIDE CREME BRULEE RECIPE

Ingredients:

• 4 large egg yolks
• 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
• 1 cup of heavy cream
• 1 vanilla bean, split and scraped
• 4 tablespoons of granulated sugar, for topping

Instructions:

1. Preheat your sous vide water bath to 183°F (84°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until well combined.
3. In a saucepan, heat the cream and vanilla bean over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and let it steep for 5 minutes.
4. Slowly pour the cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, while whisking constantly, to temper the eggs.
5. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher or measuring cup with a spout.
6. Pour the mixture into four 4-ounce ramekins, leaving about a 1/4 inch of space at the top.
7. Place the ramekins in a sous vide bag and seal using a vacuum sealer or the water displacement method.
8. Lower the bagged ramekins into the preheated water bath, making sure the ramekins are completely submerged.
9. Cook for 30 minutes, then remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature.
10. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
11. Before serving, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar over the surface of each custard. Use a kitchen torch to carameliSe the sugar, until it forms a crispy top. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

This recipe shows how easy it is to make a classic French dessert using a sous vide machine.
