Print Recipe

Create a festive and creamy Eggnog Crème Brûlée. This recipe offers a delightful holiday twist on the classic French dessert, perfect for impressing your guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar, plus extra for topping
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup eggnog (high quality recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Arrange four 6-ounce ramekins in a baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks and 1/2 cup sugar until pale and slightly thickened.
  3. In a saucepan, gently heat the heavy cream, eggnog, nutmeg, and salt over medium heat until steaming, but do not boil. Remove from heat.
  4. Slowly temper the egg mixture by gradually whisking in about one cup of the warm cream mixture.
  5. Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  6. Strain the custard mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup or bowl.
  7. Divide the custard evenly among the four ramekins.
  8. Carefully pour hot water into the baking pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins, creating a water bath (bain-marie).
  9. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still jiggle slightly.
  10. Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool completely on a wire rack. Once cool, chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  11. Just before serving, sprinkle an even, thin layer of sugar over the top of each custard.
  12. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it forms a hard, amber crust. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality eggnog for the best flavor.
  • Chilling the custards thoroughly helps them set properly before torching.
  • If you do not have a kitchen torch, you can place the ramekins under a hot broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching constantly to prevent burning.
