Ingredients
For the Crème Brûlée
- 150 g fresh goat cheese Soft and creamy, offering a rich and tangy flavor.
- 200 ml heavy cream Silky smooth, providing the perfect base for that luxurious custard experience.
- Sugar (for caramelizing) Granulated sugar that transforms into a crisp, sweet crust.
- Black pepper (optional, for caramel topping) A hint of spice for adventurous palates.
For Serving
- Fig chili jam A delightful spread that combines sweetness with a subtle heat.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F).
- In a mixing bowl, blend the fresh goat cheese and heavy cream until smooth and well combined.
- Divide the mixture into ramekins.
- Place the ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with hot water halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the custard is set but still has a slight jiggle in the center.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool down to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Once chilled, sprinkle a thin layer of sugar on top of each custard.
- Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it forms a golden, crispy crust.
- Serve the crème brûlée with a spoonful of fig chili jam on top.
Notes
Ensure you sprinkle the sugar evenly and caramelize it slowly for the best texture. Replace heavy cream with coconut cream for a lighter option.
