Madagascar vanilla crème brûlee

Cream, Sweet

The famous dessert of any good French bistro: rich cream flavoured with Tonka cooked in a water bath and finally topped with a thin layer of sugar burnt with a torch.

Note

The crèmes brûlées are ready when you give them a gentle tap and that the center has a texture that resembles Jello. Do not overcook as you could get the texture of scrambled eggs.
