HA! I'm turning 25 and I haven't had a valentine so far!😂 Guess I'm saddled with the curse of being bi…myself 😅😭 (I want to date but I suck at socialising. Half because of social anxiety and half because my neurodivergence makes it really hard)
ABSOLUTELY NOT! Your temps and cook times are good, and I'm going to try the topping idea for my next batch instead of torching turbinado sugar, but everything else is wrong. For the amount you made, you used an extra egg yolk, which causes the custard to taste more like egg than custard. And by using whole milk instead of all heavy cream, you ruined the texture. It's visible in the video as you can see the custard splitting instead of being creamy. You also didn't use enough sugar. For 2 cups of heavy cream, you should have used 1/2 cup (4oz) of sugar. The topping idea is interesting tho. And using vanilla bean paste doesn't do anything for flavor that extract doesn't. I have been making 1-3 batches of crème brûlée every week since mid November, trying vanilla beans from different regions, different ratios, different cook times, etc. Do not over-whisk, or you'll separate the the butterfat while baking and a layer of oil will form on the surface.

I save a lot of time, rather than melting sugar, i just use maple syrup!

I can not get the top to work. How much water to sugar do you use?
You could also put sugar on top and blow torch it
But the other option is more cheap
Y he is looking like hanumankind
For a little bit more nice texture, sprinkle sugar over it and burn it.

Stop it right now that’s genius! I know how to make that caramel from flan recipes but never thought to use it here! Thank you!
Fatass
Can you use vanilla extract instead of the paste????
Can the vanilla bean past be substituted with vanilla extract or would that ruin the texture?
