This recipe is quite simple and adds a rich and tasty touch to a tried-and-true dish. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar top, or simply lay it under the broiler.

Ingredients
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1 cup eggnog
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons white sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Whisk egg yolks and 1 tablespoon sugar together in a bowl until sugar is dissolved. Whisk in eggnog, cream, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
- Pour eggnog mixture into 4 ramekins. Place ramekins in baking dish; pour in enough boiling water to come half way up the sides of ramekins.
- Bake in the preheated oven until set, about 1 hour. Cool slightly, cover ramekins with plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 4 hours.
- Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven’s broiler.
- Remove plastic wrap from ramekins. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar in a thin layer over top of each ramekin. Brown the sugar using a kitchen torch or under a broiler until golden and caramelized, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Browning sugar to finish the creme brulee can be done with a kitchen torch instead of using a broiler, if desired.
Reviews
This is very creamy with a slight egg nog flavor. I prefer to use a torch to caramelize the sugar. Everyone enjoyed it.
