Creme Brulee

This is such an easy pleaser!!! And if you have the blow torch - it's fun to make! (ask for one for christmas)

8 egg yokes
1/3 cup white granulated sugar
2 cups heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 white granulated sugar

Preheat oven to 300. In a large bowl whisk egg yolks and sugar until sugar is dissolved and mixture is thick and pale yellow. Add vanilla and cream and whisk until blended. Strain into a large bowl skimming off foam. Pour into ramekins and place in a "water bath" - i use a pyrex with about 1/2 inch of water on the bottom- Bake for 50 - 60 minutes at 300. (the center will be loose) leave in water bath until cool then chill in frig for 2-3 hours or overnight . Sprinkle with about 2 tsps of sugar and Torch it! (this is the best part of the recipe!) Serve immediately <3

*if you do not own a blow torch - you can place under broiler for a few minutes to carmalize the sugar - but then re-chill before serving.
