Vanilla Cardamom Crème Brûlée

This decadent and delicious Vanilla Cardamom Crème Brûlée boasts a creamy, flavorful custard and 

a crunchy caramelized sugar top. It's the perfect dessert to wow your family and friends!

I've always been a big fan of crème brûlée. Up until just a few years ago, I had only ever had it in restaurants. I'll admit, I was a bit intimidated to try making it myself, which turns out was just me being silly. It really is not hard to make at all, as long as you use the freshest ingredients and take your time!

If you haven't had the pleasure of trying crème brûlée before, it's a French dessert consisting of a super creamy custard and a crunchy caramelized topping. One bite and you will be hooked for life, trust me!

Easy Vanilla Crème Brûlée

I'll admit, I've tried making Crème Brûlée a few times and have failed. Not just failed, but failed miserably. The last time I tried making it, I was out of heavy cream. I read online somewhere how to make your own cream. Yeah, that didn't turn out so well. The whole batch had a gross buttery film on the top and had to be thrown out!

This time around I made sure to have plenty of heavy cream on hand. No substitutes! And I made sure I was careful and patient too. 

This recipe is actually very simple. You only need 4 ingredients, plus vanilla sugar or sanding sugar for the topping. Super easy. I baked mine in 2 different sizes of ramekins and found that the smaller ones only needed 30 minutes to cook, while the larger ones needed about 40. Just check them after 30 and continue cooking in 5 minute intervals until done. I promise you can't screw this one up!
