Eggnog Crème Brûlée

Eggnog Crème Brûlée

I wanted to make crème brûlée since an eternity. About 2 years ago I have even purchased a crème brûlée set purchased with bowls and a burner. It took 1 year to fill the burner with gas. And another 6 months until I finally tried out the set. There are now so many variations crème brûlée. Initially I wanted to make the classic crème brûlée, but then I've changed my mind and made this delicious eggnog crème brûlée. I had to do something with the homemade eggnog. So, if you still have eggnog, then you can try the recipe.



You need:


200 g whipped cream
75 ml milk
1 vanilla bean
3 egg yolks
50 g sugar
100 ml eggnog
sugar for the crust

Preparation time: 30 Minutes
Backzeit: 50 minutes
Servings: 4-6


This is how we proceed:


First of all the preheat oven to 150°C. 
Give cream and milk in a saucepan. Halve the vanilla pod lengthwise, scrape out the beans with a knife and give together with the bean in the pot. Heat cream-milk mixture with stirring over low heat (do not boil!). Remove vanilla.


Give yolks and sugar in a bowl and beat until creamy. Then stir into the cream-milk mixture. While stirring add the eggnog and keep on low heat for another 1-2 minutes. Stir constantly.


Place the forms in a baking dish. Pour cream into the forms. Place the baking dish on the middle shelf of the preheated oven. Pour hot water until the forms are at about 2/3 in water. Bake for 50 minutes

Remove forms from the hot water and allow cooling. Then give for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator. Before serving sprinkle each form with a tbsp sugar and caramelize with a gas burner.
