Ingredients
- 375 mL (1 ½ cups) Butter Pecan Ensure® Regular
- 2 eggs
- 30 mL (2 Tbsp) sugar
- 2 mL (½ tsp) vanilla extract
- Sugar for topping
How to make
- Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F).
- In a medium-size bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until smooth.
- Add Ensure® Regular and vanilla to egg mixture. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold together.
- Divide mixture into 4 ramekins or custard cups. Place ramekins into an ovenproof pan.
- Pour water into the pan until water is halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Place pan in oven.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes or until crème brûlée "wiggles" slightly. Remove ramekins from water.
- Refrigerate until completely cold.
- When ready to serve, sprinkle about 5 mL (1 tsp) of sugar on top of each ramekin. Place under the oven broiler (or pass a kitchen torch over the surface) until sugar caramelizes and turns light brown.
Tip
Turn your crème brûlée into a fruit-custard by topping it with your favourite "coulis".
