A couple of months ago I turned the big 30! It was a birthday of many firsts! I went dancing for the first time. Got my nails done for the first time. Best of all, I had creme brulee for the first time. It was love at first bite! So, of course, I NEEDED to try making it myself.
Creme Brulee Recipe
It took me a while to muster the courage to make (what I thought to be a difficult recipe) creme brulee.
Imagine my surprise when I found out that this exquisite delicacy, is incredibly easy to make! The only thing holding me back from making it was… a torch!
For two weeks straight I looked around for a torch. Even though I knew that I could use the broiler on the stove to “brulee” my creme, I WANTED to use a torch!!! (darn it!!)
I finally was able to find a not too expensive and easy to use a torch at Canadian Tire (popular Canadian hardware store).
For this recipe, I ended up going with an easy one from AllRecipes.com
Here’s what you will need to make creme brulee!
- ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups heavy cream
- 6 egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
- 6 tablespoon white sugar (divided)
For those more visual (like myself) I have linked the video on how to make this delicious dessert.
Here’re a couple of pictures of my chef-d’œuvre 😉
I’m really happy with how it turned out. Even more so that hubby and SisterDear loved it!
Hope you all enjoyed this quick and easy to make recipe. I will be making this again soon!

It’s nice when you make something new and everyone loves it isn’t it? I have never had creme brulee before, but it looks really good!
I love creme brulee, too, but never tried to make it at home. You’ve inspired me to try it out! Looks delicious!
I’ve never tried Creme Brulee before but it looks heavenly and the ingredients sound real good too. My favorite recipe is homemade alfredo sauce! I learned about it this year and am so addicted to it, now I never buy Alfredo in a jar.
That looks good.. i am a fan of Creme Brulee.. If it is done correctly is is amazing!
Very elegant dessert and a low cost. Thank you for sharing.
I’ve never made creme brulee before, or even had it. But it looks really good. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
My boys love Creme Brûlée and they get it every time we go out. I have always wanted to try to make it just so I can play with the device that melts the sugar!
That looks delicious! Glad that it turn out so yummy! Looking at it wants me to have some.
Yum, Sounds delicious!
That looks so good. I love creme brulee.
My Hubs loves the recipe I have for Creme Brulee. I haven’t made it in a long while because I can’t eat it.
I love creme brulee as a dessert.
I have never had creme brulee before, but I just got the torches on clearance and I have been dying to use them. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
I have never had creme burlee, but with all that sugar it can’t wrong. Glad it turned out so good and your family loved it. Thanks for the recipe.
You have no idea how much I love creme brulee, now you’ve got me craving for some; I’ll be putting this recipe to use very soon!
These Look So Yummy I Can’t Wait To Try!1
I tried creme brulee for the first time at Disney when we went to Wolfgang Puck’s restaurant. So So Good.
Oh, I love creme brulee. I’ve never made it myself before, glad yours turned out so well!
For a first time, the came out very nice and professional looking.
Ok, that just turned out so beautifully! I wouldn’t mind a giant spoonful!
I have a torch, and I never even opened it.. not sure it has fuel in it.. but I happen to have a half gallon of cream in the fridge from Costco.. hmmmm….
Wow, these look delicious. I think it’s awesome that you are not afraid to try cooking new dishes. I’m not that daring in the kitchen but I’m getting better.
I’ve made creme brûlée before and it got raves. Thanks for sharing your recipe. I would love to try your version next time I make it.
I’ve never made it before but doubt my husband would let me play with a torch anyhow. I’m notoriously clumsy in the kitchen! Happy belated 30th!
I love Creme Brulee, but I don’t think I could pull off making it, lol! It looks amazing.
Looks really yummy!
How yummy and fancy
Creme Brulee is one of my favorite desserts – along with flab, which is almost the same thing. Looks delicious!
I can say I am 45 and never tried this so thanks for recipe. I am going to try it and try to make it for the very first time for both.
I have never made creme brulee either, but yours look fabulousl! I do, however, have walls painted the color creme brulee in my home. 😉 Happy belated birthday!
Good for you! This is one of those recipes I would like to try but have been intimidated!
This brings back a lot of memories. My mom use to make this at least once a month. A popular dessert way back when. I will have to make it too now that I have seen this. Thanks!
You rock girl! It looks great! Just the name alone makes it intimidating for me to even want to try. But you did it! Glad everyone like it too
My niece is a big time fan of creme brulee!
Thanks for sharing the recipe, now I can make a few for my nephew n niece.
I’d be doing a happy dance too. I love love love creme brulee!
I love Creme Brulee, but like you, I’ve never made it myself because I don’t have a torch. I really need to just go ahead and buy one!
Nice job! I was salivating over the idea of enjoying a creme brulee before the page loaded! Yummy!
Well done!! (I’d have wanted the torch too – where’s the fun otherwise??) I like to cook, but baking and sweets are usually out of my league. I do make a wicked Strawberry Pretzel Salad that is a go to for potluck desserts! 🙂
thanks for this recipe marielle! will totally try this! looks very easy watching your video
I have never had creme brulee. I need to try it sometime. It looks yummy!
That looks so delicious! wish I could have a bite,
Thank you so much for this! I was actually just thinking about this the other day! ha! I absolutely LOVE creme brulee!
Sounds like the type of food you have to put out your pinky to eat.. hehe No seriously though, I’ve always wanted to try this, just never have.. my cooking.. baking skills aren’t up to this level yet..
Happy belated 30th birthday to you. I happen to love creme brûlée so I will have to make it one day. I did save your recipe and I will tag you in my post if I ever get around to making it. Glad to hear you went dancing and got your nails done. Life is all too short!
Happy Birthday! My DH loves creme brulee and I didn’t realize that it was something that even I could make. I’ll have to give it a try. Thanks for sharing.
