Method

  1. Heat the cream, chocolate and vanilla pod in a pan until the chocolate has melted. Take off the heat and allow to infuse for 10 mins, scraping the pod seeds into the cream. If using the vanilla extract, add straight away. Heat oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3.
  2. Beat yolks and sugar until pale. stir in the chocolate cream. Strain into a jug and pour into ramekins. Place in a deep roasting tray and pour boiling water halfway up the sides. Bake for 15-20 mins until just set with a wobbly centre. Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hrs.
  3. To serve, sprinkle some sugar on top of the brûlées and caramelise with a blowtorch or briefly under a hot grill. Leave caramel to harden, then serve.

    Fantastic recipe. Only made creme brulee once before from a Delia recipe and dare I say it, this is better! Took 30 mins in oven to only have a slight wobble so I was worried they had overcooked but they were perfect with a lovely texture. I used a teaspoon of sugar on each for caremelising.

    Absolutely gorgeous. In my opinion it should be categorised as easy. I would recommend blasting the sugar with a high heat otherwise they go a bit runny (still nice though). My favourite dessert!

    This was lovely, really easy to make and the white chocolate added a nice creamy-ness without being overpowering. I served them straight after grilling and they were perfect, the caramel was lovely and crisp and the puddings were just starting to become runny.

    This was the first time I had ever made creme brulee but it was the most easy process and I have made it countless times since as my family adore it!

    Very quick, very easy! I made this just for my fiance and I, so I cut the recipe down to 1/3 (190g cream, 33g choc, 2 egg yolks, 2 tsp sugar, and 1/2 tsp vanilla ext), and it actually fit perfectly into my ramekins. Very creamy, although my qualm lies with my fiance, who bought cheap tesco white chocolate because the only other one he was was Lindt's "Touch of Vanilla" and he thought that meant it was no good. Never trust a man when picking out chocolate!

    Lovely flavour but like so many other comments it took far longer to cook these than the 15-20 minutes quoted (at this point they were still very liquid). Mine took 40 minutes before they set and I made 8 small ramekins, so I would have thought this would have been quicker than the time quoted! Therefore I have only given it three stars as I feel that the recipe cooking time is wrong.

    This is gorgeous and very easy to make, you can make it in advance then caramelise it and pop it back in to the fridge to harden up, make sure you leave it in the fridge for 1-2 hours though or it will be too soft.

    Got rave reviews from all of my dinner guests, I grilled the sugar and then put back in fridge for a few hours, still tasted delicious...reasonably easy to make too...

    i loved this recipe, except that all the vanilla seeds set in the bottom of the dish and didn't look very appealing :(

    Lovely recipe and have made this several times and they have been a hit. They are lovely served with shortbread and a couple of strawberry halves. Here are some of my notes... As mentioned in other reviews I found 20 minutes cooking too short. In my fan oven it is about 45 to 50 minutes at 140 degrees. Even a small splash of water in the ramekins of custard will cause the custard to split (as I learned on one of my first attempts) so great care is needed to avoid this.

    So, this was the first time I've ever made a brulee, and I must say it was very easy, and everyone LOVED it! Will definitely make it again!:-)
