créme brulee
The idea here is not to provide the best creme brulee recipe ever yet to offer a base recipe for you as the cook to add and create new flavors for.
Take this recipe to another level, add chai tea, pumpkin spice, think outside the box by using savory flavors opposed to sweet. Perhaps it's the way you present the custard? Serve it in an espresso cup with biscotti, in a hollow lemon, or prepare it directly in it's own egg shell.
Just remember, a recipe is only as good as your imagination!

ingredients
7 egg yolks
150 grams white granulated sugar
3 vanilla pods
250 ml 2% milk
700 ml heavy cream
procedure
1) Scrape vanilla beans, add to milk and heat.
2) Whisk yolks and sugar very gently. Add hot milk and temper yolks; cool.
3) Add heavy cream. Pass through fine strainer.
4) Skim foam and pour into molds.
5) Cook in a baine-marie, covered, at 300 degrees 45 to 50 minutes.
6) Chill thoroughly. Sprinkle tops with sifted sugar and glaze under salamander.

1.5 cups 35% cream
.75 cups 2% milk
.5 vanilla pod
banana bread ,cubed
marshmallows, halved
seasonal organic fruits
fruit coulis
fondue
1) In a double broiler melt the white chocolate, making sure that the chocolate does not become too hot. The chocolate should not be hotter than the temperature of your lip.

3) In a separate bowl whip the 35% cream to soft peaks.
