      Crème brûlée
    1. 1     For approximately 4 individual servings of crème brûlée, whisk together the egg yolks and the sugar until you achieve a mousse like consistency.
      2. Crème brûlée
    2. 2     Split the vanilla pod into two and use a knife to scrape out the seeds. Add the seeds to the egg and sugar mixture and stir gently.
      3. Crème brûlée
    3. 3     Gradually add the light cream and whisk until it is thoroughly combined.
      4. Crème brûlée
    4. 4     Pour the mixture into ramekins and put them in the oven at a temperature of 200°F/100°C for one hour.
      Let them cool to room temperature before putting them into the refrigerator for two hours to harden.
      5. Crème brûlée
    5. 5     There are two main ways to caramelize the crème brûlée after you have sprinkled it with brown sugar:
      - Use a mini blow torch
      - Place under a hot grill for a few seconds
      6. Crème brûlée
    6. 6     Caramelizing should be done just before serving. If you do it earlier, the top layer will not be as crunchy

      Don't hesitate to add flavorings such as orange blossom.
    Finishing touches... For step 5, using a blow torch is by far the better option. These can be bought relatively cheaply from most cookery shops and department stores.
