Directions
Cardamom Creme Brulee,Oh my, I found this on epicurious.com, and can’t wait to try it. I love cardamom, and have a huge container of it downstairs that I need to use. I have never tried making creme brulee before. Prep time is chill time.,Served at a valentines dinner party . Most thought it was great buy some only average. It was easy to make but made double what the recipe said.. I am going to add a little coconut and coconut extract and try it tonight. used splenda and that worked out fine. This is certainly a great desert so you should give it a try..,?A good recipe, but it makes far more than 6 servings. I made it as specified and only used half for 4 3oz ramekins and 4 4oz ramekins. Variations that have worked for me (independent of scaling back the quantities), are steeping whole black cardamom in the cream as it warms in a double boiler, and topping with a mix of brown sugar and jagagry (palm sugar) for an Indian emphasis. Also, 3 yolks per cup of cream is pushing it to get it to set. Most recipes suggest 4, though 3 is possible. I’d suggest something in between for the novice at first. Finally, it is all too easy to burn this if using a broiler. Invest in a culinary torch. Sets WITH ramekins can be had for as little as $20 if one shops around.
