FARM FRESH CREME BRUELE - Super simple & egg-ceptionally yummy

Ok this is one dessert I love - I like to order it for a treat if we are out somewhere special. The problem is... NOW I KNOW HOW EASY IT IS TO MAKE! Give it a try - there are lots of variations.  The recipe below comes out very sweet.  My first batch was for New Years Eve & my 2nd  for Valentines Day. (I love sweet but I cut down the sugar a bit and am thinking about using only 1/2 the called for amount in the next batch)  Let me know what you think!

If you Google Creme Bruele you’ll find lots of recipes & videos. Here is the basic recipe I used:
 
4-6 farm fresh yolks.  reserve whites for another dessert like meringues.  add a pinch of salt,
1 teaspoon of vanilla and then wisk in 1/2 cup sugar.  Gently wisk in 2 cups of heavy whipping cream. Pour into small oven proof dishes.  Set little dishes in larger pan/dish & pour warm water into the large dish about 1/2 way up the sides of the tiny dishes.  Carefully place into preheated oven (350^o) and cook for 30-40 minutes till set.  Let cool, then refrigerate.  When ready to serve sprinkle tops with thin coat of sugar and place under broiler or use a torch til sugar melts and glazes over.  -- my torch pix is not so good - will pop one up for you later -- they turned out great under the broiler the first time I did it. Remove quickly. Let cool just a bit then enjoy your farm fresh dessert.  Add fresh berries if you have them... I like mine plain.
                                                                                             

Note: My farm-tastic mom found creme bruele dishes for me at one of the linen/home goods store -- way cheaper than the fancy cooking stores. It even came with a torch.
