Malted Milk Cremes Brulees Recipes

CHOCOLATE MALTED CREME BRULEE

Steps:

• Place cream, 1/2 cup sugar, chocolate, and malted milk powder in large saucepan. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean. Bring to simmer over medium heat, stirring until chocolate melts and sugar dissolves. Whisk yolks in large bowl. Gradually whisk hot cream mixture into yolks. Strain custard into large bowl. Chill until cold, stirring often, at least 2 hours (Chilling prevents custard from separating during baking). Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Divide custard among 3/4-cup ramekins or custard cups. Place ramekins in roasting pan. Add enough hot water to pan to come halfway up sides of ramekins. Bake until just set in center, about 45 minutes. Remove from hot water; chill until cold, at least 6 hours. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover; keep chilled. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons sugar over each custard. Using kitchen torch, caramelize sugar (Alternatively, preheat broiler. Place ramekins on rimmed baking sheet; broil until sugar turns deep amber, about 2 minutes). Chill until sugar hardens, about 15 minutes. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 hours ahead. Keep chilled.

MALTED-MILK CREMES BRULEES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Bring cream to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add chocolate and malted-milk powder; stir until chocolate melts and powder dissolves. Whisk together yolks, 1/4 cup sugar, and a pinch of salt.
• Whisk hot cream mixture into yolk mixture. Strain into a large measuring cup.
• Arrange four 6-ounce ramekins in a roasting pan. Divide custard evenly among ramekins, leaving 1/4 inch at the top.
• Place roasting pan in oven, and fill halfway with boiling water. Bake until custards are set, 60 to 70 minutes. Remove from oven and from water bath. Let cool. Refrigerate until cooled, about 2 hours.
• Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon sugar onto each custard. Hold a small handheld kitchen torch at a 90-degree angle 3 to 4 inches from surface of each custard, and move flame back and forth until sugar caramelizes and is deep golden brown, or broil until sugar caramelizes. Sprinkle each again with 1/2 teaspoon sugar, and recaramelize with torch or under the broiler.
