Classic Chai Latte Creme Brulee
Believe it or not, the idea for this Classic Chai Latte Creme Brulee came to me during a chilly autumn morning when all I wanted was the warmth of a chai latte and the comfort of a creamy dessert. Combining these two loves into one dish was a no-brainer, and the result is nothing short of magical.
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 6 large egg yolks
- 2 tbsp chai tea concentrate
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for caramelizing)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F and place six ramekins in a large baking dish.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups heavy cream, 1 cup whole milk, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
- In a separate bowl, whisk 6 large egg yolks until smooth. Gradually whisk in the hot cream mixture to temper the eggs.
- Stir in 2 tbsp chai tea concentrate and 1 tsp vanilla extract into the custard mixture.
- Divide the custard evenly among the ramekins. Pour hot water into the baking dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the custards are set but still slightly wobbly in the center. Remove from the oven and let cool in the water bath for 10 minutes.
- Transfer the ramekins to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
- Before serving, sprinkle 1/4 cup granulated sugar evenly over the tops of the custards. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it’s golden brown and bubbly.
What makes this creme brulee stand out is the perfect balance between the spicy chai and the sweet, creamy custard. The caramelized sugar adds a delightful crunch that contrasts beautifully with the smooth texture underneath. Serve it with a side of fresh berries or a drizzle of honey for an extra touch of sweetness.
