Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
1 cup vanilla ice cream
2 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons sugar
Directions
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (162 degrees C). Place two small ovenproof ramekins in a baking dish with a high rim.
Heat ice cream in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave for 20-second intervals, stirring between, until melted. Let cool for 5 minutes.
Whisk egg yolks, one at a time, into melted ice cream until smooth and well combined. Pour evenly into the two ramekins in the baking dish. Carefully pour boiling water into the baking dish until halfway up each ramekin.
Bake in the preheated oven until set but still jiggly in the center, 40 to 50 minutes. Allow to cool completely, then wrap with plastic wrap and transfer to the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and up to 3 days.
When ready to serve, let the ramekins come to room temperature for 30 minutes. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon sugar evenly over each crème brûlée. Use a kitchen blow torch to heat sugar until golden and bubbly.
Recipe Tip
You can also broil the crème brûlées on the top rack of a preheated 500 degrees F (260 degrees C) oven for 2 to 3 minutes, watching to make sure they don't burn.
