I also used 4 egg yolks and didn't cover the pan with a foil. I baked it for about 30 minutes and it came out delicious. My family and friends loved it. This is one of the easiest desserts to make.

This elegant dessert is a breeze to make. No one would guess it would take less than 10 minutes to prepare! I use 4 egg yolks like others here and bake it for 45 minutes. I also use less sugar on the top because personally I don't like a thick layer of caramelized sugar. Plus, I find it's harder to torch and keep it from burning if there's a thicker layer. This is my go-to recipe when I'm looking to impress guests.

After reading the other reviews I know why mine didn't set properly. Not enough egg yolks. The flavour was good and so we used it as a custard with berries. I'll give it another try with more yolks.

Very good dessert. We made this when I met my girlfriend's parents for the first time. After all, you only get one chance to impress the parents! I think the recipe has been updated based on the reviews because the custard did set for me. Though I did have to increase the cook time by about 15 minutes for a total of about 45 minutes. I didn't have a torch so I used the broiler with only half of the sugar topping. The oven broiler worked well, but be aware that it will also heat up the custard. I may try the torch if I make it again.

The first time I made this (with ingredient changes of whipping cream rather than heavy cream and 4 egg yokes rather than 3) I used a single serving pan (actually used a 9X9 metal pan for the Brulee and a large metal pan for the water bath)and baked it for 45 minutes it came out PERFECT! I just repeated the same but put the Brulee into 6 ramkins which just filled all of them. After baking, however, I have lost 1/2 of all the Brulee. Possibly, the 45 mins was too long?

EXCELLENT! I have made this recipe dozens of times, and would recommend a few modifications. Use 4 egg yolks so it will set up firmer. Substitute a real vanilla bean for the extract. It is not necessary to boil the water for the baking dish, and I never cover it with foil because I need to be able to see when it jiggles right. Make sure to bake it long enough, and if you double the recipe then bake 35-40 min at 325 F. And (important) use raw cane sugar instead of white sugar for the caramelized crust.

THIS IS SO DELICIOUS!!! My husband took me out to eat and this was the first time I had cream brulee. I came home looked for the recipe and now I'm making my own. When buying a piece for almost $10 I can make 4 remikins at home for less than $5. The only thing is that I need to get a kitchen torch cause the broiler will not brown sugar. Looking into invest in a kitchen torch to make some for parties. Great recipe.

This is a great recipe but because I don't like the heavy egg tasted, this is perfect. Just like any reciepe you have to decide you want more or less of anything you put in it. On this one don't use as much sugar, that way the creme will set and wont look like liquid after 45mins of baking.

Very good and easy to make! I took advice from other reviewers and added an extra egg yolk. This was my first attempt at making creme brulee and was quite impressed by the way it turned out.

This recipe is AWESOME!!!!! I used 4 egg yokes and baked for 40 minutes. Turned out PERFECT!!!! I used a metal cake pan and no towel. I removed the cream/sugar from the heat and added the egg mixture to the pan I was using on the stove. Use a wire whisk.

I used a few of the suggestions and it was amazing! I increased my yolks to 5 and used half of a vanilla bean. I didn't use foil to cover while baking either. It did take a bit longer baking time to set. The creamy texture was perfect. My family & guests raved about it. It is now a permenant family recipe.

Super! my boyfriend thought i was getting "all fancy" when i busted this one out but he really liked it and so did i. careful not to load up the top with to much sugar. the crust will be to thick and hard to break with a spoon. =)

Well......I should of read reviews before making. I thought this was the recipe I used twice before and they turned out perfect. This time it never set up. I let cook for a lot longer time, and it never set up properly. The flavor was good, just to runny. I should of used more egg yoks per the other reviews. I don't think I will make this again. I will search for the other one I made before.

Great taste. I used very shallow creme brulee dishes that came with my butane torch, and they needed a lot more time cooling in the fridge to attain the thickness desired with Creme Brulee. I made half of this recipe and it was more than enough for 3 people.
