Birthday Creme Brle

Preheat the oven to 160C

Mix egg yolk with sugar

Heat up the cooking cream in a pot until slightly boil (turn off the fire once you see smoke coming out from the cream)

Add the egg yolk mixture into the hot cooking cream, a little at a time, stir continuously

Remove the vanilla seeds from the vanilla pod (or vanilla essence) and add into the cooking cream

Prepare an oven tray with 4 ramekins. Strain the liquid through a sieve into a measuring cup and pour the mixture carefully into the ramekins in the oven tray.

Pour enough hot water into the oven tray to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins

Bake until the creme brulee is set, around 25 min

Remove the ramekins from the oven and refrigerate for at least 3 hours

Before serving, bring the creme brulee out from the refrigerator and leave at room temperature for at least 30 minutes

Spread sugar evenly on the surface of the creme brle

Use a torch to melt the sugar until caramelized and form a crispy brown top, garnish with some fruits on top and serve
