...This was today's pudding. Not much to look at, but it tasted delicious, and the kids gave it 8.5, which was an improvement on the souffle! Could it be to do with the fact that it contains a pint of cream!!!! Yes, this dessert is calories on a spoon.
I made it yesterday afternoon as it had to chill overnight. The process was fairly straight forward, and involved heating the cream and then adding egg yolks, and baking in a bain marie - a roasting tray half filled with water, to you and me!
I got to use my blowtorch this morning, which was fun. The top was not as crunchy as I would have liked, but that was partly because Mary said to chill the creme brulee for another couple of hours before serving. This made it go a bit softer.
As I said, this was a hit in our house, although we did all agree that it was best with some fruit, to balance out the creaminess! Not one for someone on a diet. My diet definitely starts in January!! Only 11 recipes to go now!
You have a blowtorch?! I've always wanted one of those! You are really cheffy now Julia!
