It's my one of my favourite desserts :) this is the recepy i often use to make it.I'd also be intrested in getting new ones :) (i also have one for ovenapple brulee)

okay here it is:

3,3dl of cream
1,5dl of milk
1 vanilla bean/pod (don't know which is the proper word: ))
0,5dl of sugar
3 egg yolks

on top brown sugar to caramellize(or any sugar you prefer)

how i make it:

I heat the cream,milk,vanilla pod(cut to half) and sugar in a kettle and then let it infuse a while then i pour it over the egg yolks and mix them and put it a fridge for couple of hours or over night.Then i sieve it(and skim any foam on the surface) and bake for 30mins in 120celcius and it's usually done.Then i cool it.

for finishing touch i have a burner that i camellize the sugar,which is bit tricky,because it shoulden't burn and the mixture below shoulden't get warmer..a perfect brule should have a sugar on top that is both caramellized and feels like "glass" and cold cream mixture below..

and i'm sorry my american friends but i just know metric system and celcius ;-)

hoping to get some comments and ideas :-)

Of all things, my 12-year-old daughter made a fantastic creme brulee from scratch. Too bad I don't like it!! She also made mini chocolate souffles like a pro. drinker
