Cranberry Creme Brulee Recipe
  • Prep: 35 min. Bake: 35 min. + chilling
  • Yield: 8 Servings
35 35 70

Ingredients

  • 1 package (12 ounces) fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • CUSTARD:
  • 2-1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, divided
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 10 egg yolks
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 8 teaspoons superfine sugar

Directions

  • In a large saucepan, combine the cranberries, sugar, water and salt. Cook over medium heat until berries pop, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat. Spoon 2 tablespoons into each of eight 6-oz. custard cups; chill for 10 minutes. Refrigerate remaining cranberry sauce until serving.
  • In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup cream over medium heat until bubbles form around sides of pan. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla. In a large bowl, whisk egg yolks and granulated sugar until smooth. Gradually whisk in heated cream mixture. Gradually stir in remaining cream.
  • Transfer to eight 6-oz. ramekins or custard cups. Place ramekins in a baking pan; add 1 in. of boiling water to pan. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 35-40 minutes or until centers are just set (mixture will jiggle). Remove ramekins from water bath; cool for 10 minutes. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
  • Just before serving, blot custard with paper towels to remove any moisture. Sprinkle each cup with 1 teaspoon superfine sugar; place on a baking sheet. Broil 3-4 in. from the heat for 1-2 minutes or until sugar turns golden brown. Serve with remaining cranberry sauce. Yield: 8 servings.
