Ingredients

• ✓ vanilla extract
• egg
• white sugar
• salt
• milk

Instructions

1. 1 Separate two of the eggs. In the top of a double boiler, combine 1 whole egg and 2 yolks with 1/4 cup sugar and salt, whisking until smooth. Whisk in milk and cook over simmering water, stirring constantly with a spatula or wooden spoon. When the custard thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, remove it from the heat. (Do not boil. If custard should start to curdle, remove from heat and beat vigorously until smooth.) Pour the custard through a strainer into a bowl and stir in vanilla. Cool and refrigerate.
2. 2 In a heat-proof bowl, lightly whisk 2 egg whites with remaining 1/4 cup sugar, just enough to dissolve the sugar. Place the bowl on top of a pot of simmering water and stir constantly until the temperature of the whites reaches 145 degrees F (63 C) or hotter. Immediately remove the bowl from the heat and use an electric mixer to beat warm egg whites until they form stiff, glossy peaks.
3. 3 Pour chilled custard into a serving dish. Drop meringue by heaping tablespoonfuls onto the custard to make islands. Chill before serving.

By Suzanne

Ingredients

• ✓ vanilla extract
• heavy cream
• white sugar
• egg yolk
• chocolate chip
• white sugar

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Set 6 (6 ounce) ramekins on a baking sheet.
2. 2 Pour cream, sugar, and vanilla into a saucepan, and place over medium heat. Stir to dissolve the sugar, and heat until it begins to simmer, then remove from heat. Place egg yolks in a large bowl, and slowly whisk in the hot cream mixture, about 2 tablespoons at a time, until you have added approximately a cup of cream to the yolks. At this point, pour in the remaining cream, and whisk until smooth. Stir in the chocolate chips, and set aside for 5 minutes.
3. 3 Stir the mixture until the chocolate is smooth and evenly distributed. Pour into ramekins, and bake in preheated oven until the center is just set, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven, and allow to cool for 45 minutes, then place into the refrigerator, and chill until cold, about 6 hours.
4. 4 Place oven rack in topmost position. Turn oven to Broil.
5. 5 Sprinkle the tops of each creme brulee with sugar until evenly coated, gently pour off excess sugar. Place ramekins onto a baking sheet, and place under the broiler until the sugar bubbles and turns a light caramel brown. Serve immediately.

By LSNEED62

Ingredients

• ✓ vanilla extract
• heavy cream
• white sugar
• egg yolk
• irish cream liqueur
• sugar

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Place 6 ramekins on a towel set in a roasting pan at least 3 inches deep.
2. 2 Stir together cream and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, and cook until very hot, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Whisk together egg yolks, vanilla, and Irish cream until combined. Slowly add 1/3 of the hot cream, whisking it in 2 tablespoons at a time until incorporated. Once you have incorporated 1/3 of the cream, you can stir in the remaining hot cream without fear of the mixture curdling.
3. 3 Pour custard into the ramekins, then fill roasting pan with boiling hot water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake in preheated oven until set, 50 to 60 minutes.
4. 4 Once the custard has set, place ramekins on a wire rack, and allow to cool to room temperature, about 1 hour. Cover, and refrigerate until cold, about 4 hours. Custards may remain refrigerated until ready to serve.
5. 5 Unwrap the custards, and sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of superfine sugar onto each. Gently shake the custards so the sugar coats the entire top surface, then tip the custards to a 45-degree angle and shake off excess sugar.
6. 6 Using a small hand torch, melt the sugar by making short passes over top of the custards with the flame not quite touching. Continue melting the sugar until it turns deep brown. Once the sugar has melted and turned to caramel, the cold custard underneath will harden the sugar into a crispy crust. Serve immediately. Alternatively, the sugar-dusted custards may be browned underneath the broiler in the oven.

Ingredients

• ✓ vanilla extract
• egg white
• cream of tartar
• salt
• sugar
• cocoa powder
• chocolate confectioners' coating

Instructions

1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
2. 2 Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C). Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
3. 3 Beat egg whites in a large glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until foamy. Add vanilla, cream of tartar, and salt.
4. 4 Continue whipping until soft peaks form. Gradually sprinkle in sugar so that it does not sink to the bottom and continue whipping until meringue holds stiff shiny peaks. Place a round tip into a pastry bag and fill the bag halfway with meringue.
5. 5 To pipe mushroom caps, squeeze out round mounds of meringue onto one of the prepared cookie sheets. Pull the bag off to the side to avoid making peaks on the top. Refill the bag with meringue as needed.
6. 6 To pipe mushroom stems, press out a tiny bit of meringue onto the remaining cookie sheet, then pull the bag straight up. They should resemble candy kisses. Do not worry about making all of the pieces exactly the same. The mushrooms will look more natural if the pieces are different sizes.
7. 7 Dust mushroom caps lightly with cocoa using a small sifter or strainer.
8. 8 Bake in the preheated oven until meringues are dry enough to easily remove from the cookie sheets, about 1 hour. Set aside to cool completely.
9. 9 Melt coating chocolate in a metal bowl over simmering water or in a glass bowl in the microwave, stirring occasionally until smooth.
10. 10 Rotate the tip of a paring knife in the bottom of a mushroom cap to create a small hole. Spread chocolate over the bottom of the cap. Dip the tip of a stem in chocolate and press lightly into the hole.
11. 11 When chocolate sets, the cap and stem will hold together. Repeat with remaining meringues. Store at room temperature in a dry place or tin.

Instructions

1. 1 Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Move an oven rack to the lowest position.
2. 2 Whisk egg yolks, 1/4 white sugar, and vanilla together in a heatproof bowl until smooth. Bring cream just to a simmer in a saucepan over medium-low heat; gradually whisk hot cream into egg yolk mixture (a little at a time to prevent the mixture from scrambling), whisking continuously until combined.
3. 3 Bring a couple of inches of water to a simmer in a saucepan over medium-low heat; set the bowl with cream mixture over the saucepan to form a double boiler. Cook, gently stirring with a wooden spoon, until cream mixture thickens enough to easily coat the back of the spoon.
4. 4 Pour hot cream into a heat-proof baking dish or individual ramekins set on a rimmed baking sheet. Place in the preheated oven; bake until mixture sets but has a slight jiggle, about 20 to 30 minutes.
5. 5 Chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
6. 6 To make the topping: Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Combine 2 tablespoons white sugar and brown sugar in a small bowl; sprinkle evenly over cold crème brûlée.
7. 7 Heat under the preheated broiler until sugar melts and browns, 2 to 3 minutes; return immediately to the refrigerator and chill until sugar is set, about 15 minutes.
