Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups heavy cream
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 7 tbsp pure Maple Syrup
  • 1 vanilla bean seeds scraped out
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar for brulee top

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325º
  • In saucepan stir together cream and maple syrup and vanilla bean. Heat cream just until it simmers. Do not boil!
  • In bowl, whisk egg yolks until they turn a pale colour.
  • Slowly add heated cream to egg yolks, a bit at a time, stirring constantly. (I start by adding 1/4 cup at a time until eggs have tempered).
  • Pour mixture into 4 ramekins.
  • Place ramekins into large baking dish. Pour hot water 3/4 up sides of dishes. (this referred to as a bain marie - hot water bath) Be careful not to splash any water onto the brulee.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes. (just set,custard will wobble a bit in the middle when shaken)
  • Using tongs remove ramekins from pan. Let cool on wire rack for 30 minutes. Refrigerate at least 3 hours.
  • Sprinkle tops evenly with granulated sugar. Using a kitchen torch carefully melt sugar just until golden brown. This forms that wonderful brittle crust. Be careful to not burn the sugar as that will make it bitter.

Notes

I used a flavoured Maple Syrup with vanilla , star anise and cinnamon.
