Making Creme Brulee with a Thermomix comes out perfect every time. No water bath, no oven, no joke!
Place the whipping cream, sugar, vanilla, and yolks into the Thermomix. Mix 1 minute/speed 3.
Set Thermomix to cook 15 min/90℃/speed 3.
Check that the creme looks perfectly smooth and coats the back of a spoon.
Pour custard out immediately into individual ramekins. Cool to room temperature and then chill overnight in the refrigerator.
Top with brown sugar and torch until the sugar melts and turns to "glass."
Serve immediately.
If not serving right away, cover the creme brulee with white sugar but don't torch them. Cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Torch them right before serving.
I used brown sugar in the preceding blog post, but since then I've switched to using white sugar. I like fine white sugar best, not powdered sugar, but baker's fine white sugar. It torches nicely without burning as easily as brown sugar.
