HOMEMADE SPANISH CREMA CATALANA RECIPE



Homemade Spanish Crema Catalana Recipe image

A delicious homemade Crema Catalana recipe, topped with fresh fruit!

Provided by Lauren Aloise

Categories     Dessert

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons of cornstarch ((15g))
2 1/2 cups of whole milk ((600 ml))
A big slice of peel from a lemon and an orange (note: not the zest, but rather big slices of the peel)
1 cinnamon stick
5 large egg yolks
1/2 cup superfine sugar ((100g) if you can't find superfine, don't worry, it'll just be a bit more grainy)
Additional sugar to caramelize on top
Fresh fruit (like figs, raspberries or strawberries to top)

Steps:

  • Put the milk on the stove in a small saucepan, along with the citrus peels and the cinnamon stick. Slowly bring to a boil.
  • Dissolve the cornstarch in a splash of water and set aside.
  • While the milk is slowly heating, beat the egg yolks with the sugar, until the mixture turns pale yellow. Beat in the dissolved cornstarch and a spoonful of the hot milk.
  • Remove the citrus peels and cinnamon stick from the hot milk, and lower the heat.
  • Slowly add the egg yolk mixture to the milk, making sure to keep stirring so that the eggs don't scramble!
  • Stir constantly over a low heat, until the mixture has thickened.
  • Remove from the heat and pour the mixture into traditional clay dishes or ramekins.
  • Allow the custard to cool, and then cover in plastic wrap and chill the crema catalanas for about four hours (preferably overnight).
  • Before serving, I like to let mine come to room temperature (unless it's summer-- that would be too hot!). Then sprinkle a thin layer of sugar on top of each ramekin. Spread the sugar out by tilting the ramekins in all directions. Caramelize with a small kitchen blowtorch (though the truly authentic crema catalanas are made with a hot iron (see photo below).
  • Top with fresh fruit (optional) and enjoy!

SPANISH CRèME BRûLéE: CREMA CATALANA



Spanish Crème Brûlée: Crema Catalana image

Provided by Filippo Trapella

Categories     Dessert

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 Qt 1 Lt whole milk
8 yolks
4.5 tbsp 40 g cornstarch
1 organic lemon
2 cinnamon sticks
11 tbsp 160 g caster sugar + more for the crust

Steps:

  • FLAVORED MILK: First of all, pour the milk into a pot, then add the yellow peels of an organic lemon and 2 cinnamon stick. Now, place the pot over medium flame and heat until you see the first bubble simmering.
  • EGGS AND SUGAR: Meanwhile the milk is on the heat, crack the eggs and separate the yolks from the whites. Now, pour the yolks into a bowl and combine with 11 tbsp of sugar. Add also 4.5 tbsp of sifted cornstarch or the amount to obtain your preferred density (read the paragraph above for more information). Whisk the mixture until fluffy and consistent.
  • PREPARING THE EGG CREAM: Once the milk starts to simmer, place the pot far from the heat and add the eggs mixture immediately, whisking continuously with energy until consistent. At this point, place the pot again over minimum heat. Keep whisking the cream continually until it reaches the desired density. Now, pour the Crema Catalana into single serving bowls, then cover the cream surface immediately with plastic wrap in order to maintain the moisture. Once the Crema Catalana reach the room temperature, store in the fridge for a couple of hours.
  • CREMA CATALANA CRUST: Just before serving, cover the Crema Catalana with a thin layer of sugar and torch it until slightly burnt and caramelized, then serve immediately.

  • Pour the milk and cream in a small stock pot and add the orange and lemon peel, vanilla bean or vanilla paste, and cinnamon stick. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring constantly to prevent scorching, until the milk is just on the bring of boiling. Then turn off the heat, cover (to prevent a skin from forming).Let sit and cool for 30-45 minutes to allow the flavors of the citrus peel, vanilla and cinnamon to infuse the milk. Once cooled down remove the citrus zest, cinnamon stick and vanilla bean (if using).
  • Towards the end of the cooling process, put the sugar and cornstarch in a mixing bowl along with the egg yolks. Whisk until smooth and pale. Pour some of the milk mixture into the bowl with the egg yolk mixture and whisk together. Next pour all of the egg yolk mixture into the pot with with the milk mixture and whisk until combined. Slowly heat the mixture, whisking constantly, until it is thickened. DO NOT BOIL.Pour the custard into individual ramekins. Cover the ramekins with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming on top. Let them cool and then place them in the refrigerator to chill overnight, preferably for 24 hours for best flavor. The longer the custard chills the more time the flavor will have to develop.
  • Remove the custard from the fridge at least 20 minutes before serving to come to room temperature.Then sprinkle with turbinado sugar. (The more you add, the thicker the crunchy burnt sugar topping will be. But be careful or it will end up being overly sweet.) Use a butane kitchen torch to "burn" the sugar until it's a rich golden brown with some dark areas (see Note for alternate method). The ramekins will be very hot so let them sit for a minute or two and then serve immediately.

CREME BRULEE - ALICES KITCHEN
2021-05-03 The exact origin of the crème brûlée is unknown. However, it is close to the Catalan cream, a caramelized corn flour cream prepared for the feast of St. John in the seventeenth century. Another “creme brulée”, from the Flanders, also dates back several centuries, perhaps after the Spanish occupation (XVI-XVIII centuries).
