Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 vanilla bean , split lengthwise
  • 5 large egg yolks
  • 12 tsp sugar

Directions:

  1. Make custard:.
  2. Preheat oven to 325°F Place three 4-inch-diameter fluted flan dishes in each of two 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pans or place six 3/4-cup ramekins in 1 pan.
  3. Mix cream and sugar in heavy medium saucepan.
  4. Using small sharp knife, scrape seeds from vanilla bean.
  5. Add seeds and bean to saucepan.
  6. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to simmer.
  7. Cover pan, reduce heat to very low and simmer gently 10 minutes to infuse flavors.
  8. Strain into large measuring cup.
  9. Whisk yolks in medium bowl until well blended.
  10. Gradually whisk in hot cream mixture just to blend.
  11. Return custard to measuring cup; divide among dishes.
  12. Pour enough hot water into pans to come halfway up sides of dishes.
  13. Carefully transfer pans to oven.
  14. Bake custards until almost set in center when pans are gently shaken, about 30 minutes for fluted flan dishes and 35 minutes for ramekins.
  15. Using metal spatula, transfer custards in dishes to work surface; cool 30 minutes. Chill at least 3 hours and up to 2 days.
  16. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons sugar evenly over each custard. Working with 1 custard at a time, hold blowtorch so that flame is 2 inches above surface. Direct flame so that sugar melts and browns, about 2 minutes.
  17. Refrigerate until custards are firm again but topping is still brittle, at least 2 hours but no longer than 4 hours so that topping doesn't soften.
  18. Garnish creme brulees with fruit.
