Ridgehill Tavern's Classic Crème Brûlée
Creme Brûlée is a classic French dessert that is composed of a rich and creamy custard base that is topped with a layer of hard caramel. The caramel topping adds a slightly burnt sugar flavor and crunch to this creamy dessert.

-1 Cup Heavy Cream
-3 Egg Yolks
-1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Whisk sugar and cream in a glass bowl
until well combined. Heat mixture in microwave
for approx. 1-2 minutes, then whisk again to dissolve
the sugar.
3. Whisk in egg yolks and vanilla extract until
smooth. Pour cream mixture into two 6 oz. ramekins.
4. Set ramekins into a roasting pan to make a water bath
going halfway up the sides of the ramekins. \
5. Bake in the preheated oven approximately 15 minutes, or until set.
6. Remove from water bath and refrigerate until cold
(at least two hours).
7. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar over

the sugar topping until brown and bubbly.
