Happy Valentine’s Day, friends!!
For anyone out there looking for a last-minute dessert, I just realized that I totally spaced out sharing this recipe for you this week. It is one that I actually shared on the KitchenAid blog last summer, and would be just delightful for your Valentine’s Day, or any ol’ day you feel like a rich and decadent dessert. It also involves quite literally playing with fire, which I seem to enjoy a bit too much. That’s right, break out the blow torch, because we’re talking about creme brulee!! (Or make that crème brûlée if you want to break out all of the proper French characters.)
I used to be uber intimidated by this classic dessert, assuming that anything involving an epic caramelized crust and rich creamy filling would involve all sorts of complicated cooking techniques. But as it turns out, creme brulee is actually surprisingly simple to make. And this delicious recipe, kicked up a notch with vanilla beans, is sure to be a winner when you share it with those you love.
Plus, let’s be real, that blow torch is flat out fun.
This classic Creme Brulee recipe is much easier to make homemade than you might think! Just grab a blow torch and follow this step-by-step recipe for delicious results.
I love creme bruleee! Plus it’s a dessert that you can make ahead of time so it’s great for dinner parties! Thanks for sharing and your pictures are gorgeous!
I started cooking at my mothers side at the age o four. She started letting me cooking our version of chili {with beans,YUKK!} She told me to learn to cook as it would pay off later in my life. I did understand then but she was RIGHT!
Thanks, JohnB

The associated link no longer works. Is there any chance you can share the original recipe? I’ve made it before, and it was my favorite homemade creme brulee.
