    Ingredients:

    See all the accent marks? This is recipe going to be exotic. Okay, brûlée time!

    • 20 egg yolks
    • 6 tbsp brown sugar
    • 4 tbsp sugar
    • 4 cups heavy cream
    • 4 cups half & half
    • A taste of vanilla essence (or vanilla extract)

     

    To make the caramel praline mix, this is all you need:

    • ½ cup praline paste
    • ½ cup caramel sauce

     

    You can’t caramelise without sugar! In this case, you’ll need two types:

    • 2 tbsp brown sugar
    • 4 tbsp sugar
    Got all that? Do this with it:
    1. In a double boiler, mix the milk, the cream and 2 tbsp of sugar. Warm this mixture.
    2. Mix the egg yolk with the other half amount of sugar.
    3. Combine the milk and egg yolk mixture. Add vanilla extract.
    4. Add the caramel praline mix and strain it... twice, for good measure.
    5. Taste before pouring it into the brûlée dish
    6. Bake in a water bath at 170° C for 20 to 30 minutes.
    7. Mix the sugar and brown sugar.
    8. Generously sprinkle the brûlée with the sugar mix and caramelise the surface under a very hot broiler, or use a propane or butane cooking torch. (Careful with the torch!)
    9. Fancy bonus! Garnish with fruit, mint leaf… or whatever you’d like!
