FAQS
What is the best way to store leftover cream brulee?
To store leftover cream brulee, cover it tightly with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. Keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Avoid caramelizing the sugar topping until you're ready to serve, as it can become soggy.
Can I make cream brulee without using whipping cream?
Yes, you can substitute whipping cream with a combination of half-and-half and whole milk for a lighter version of cream brulee. However, keep in mind that the texture may be less rich and creamy.
What are some good pairing suggestions for cream brulee?
Cream brulee pairs wonderfully with fresh berries, such as raspberries or strawberries, and a drizzle of berry coulis. A glass of dessert wine or a rich coffee can also complement the flavors beautifully.
How do I know when my cream brulee is done baking?
Your cream brulee is done baking when the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle. It should not be completely firm. Baking at 120°C for 30-45 minutes using the steam bake method helps achieve the perfect custard consistency.
Is cream brulee suitable for a gluten-free diet?
Yes, cream brulee is naturally gluten-free as it does not contain any flour or gluten-containing ingredients. Just ensure that all your ingredients, especially the sugar and vanilla flavor, are certified gluten-free.
