Coffee Caramel Creme Brulee Recipes

Steps:

• Bring 1 cup cream and coffee beans to simmer in heavy small saucepan. Remove from heat; cover and let steep at least 20 minutes and up to 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 325°F. Stir 2/3 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water in heavy medium saucepan over low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to boil, brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush. Boil without stirring until syrup is deep amber, swirling pan occasionally, about 11 minutes. Remove pan from heat. Add remaining 1 cup whipping cream (mixture will bubble up). Stir over low heat until caramel is smooth. Stir in half and half. Strain coffee-infused cream into caramel cream; discard coffee beans in strainer.
• Whisk yolks, salt, and remaining 1/3 cup sugar in large bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in cream mixture. Strain custard into large measuring cup.
• Arrange eight 2/3- to 3/4-cup ramekins or custard cups in roasting pan. Divide custard among ramekins. Add enough warm water to roasting pan to come halfway up sides of ramekins or custard cups.
• Bake custards until just set in center, 65 to 70 minutes. Transfer custards from water bath directly to refrigerator. Chill uncovered until cold, at least 3 hours and up to 1 day.
• Sprinkle top of each custard with 1 teaspoon raw sugar. Using kitchen torch, melt sugar on each custard until deep amber. (Alternatively, preheat broiler. Arrange custards on small rimmed baking sheet; broil until sugar topping melts and browns, about 2 minutes.) Refrigerate custards until sugar topping hardens, at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour (do not chill longer than 1 hour or topping will start to soften). Serve custards cold.

• Whisk yolks, salt, and remaining 1/3 cup sugar in large bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in cream mixture. Strain custard into large measuring cup.
• Arrange 8 (2/3 - 3/4 cup) ramekins or custard cups in roasting pan. Divide custard among ramekins. Add enough warm water to roasting pan to come halfway up sides of cups.
• Bake custards until just set in center, 65-70 minutes. Transfer custards from water bath directly to refrigerator. Chill uncovered until cold, at least 3 hours and up to 1 day.
• Sprinkle top of each custard with 1 teaspoons raw sugar. Using kitchen torch, melt sugar on each custard until deep amber. (Alternate method - preheat broiler. Arrange custard cups on small rimmed baking sheet; broil until sugar topping melts and browns, about 2 minutes.) Refrigerate custards until sugar topping hardens, at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour (do not chill longer than 1 hour or topping will start to soften). Serve custards cold.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• In a medium saucepan, add the heavy cream, espresso powder and vanilla bean paste. Bring to a light simmer, then let simmer for 5 minutes. Take off the heat and cool to room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• In a nonreactive bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until combined and lighter in color. Slowly add the cooled cream mixture, whisking constantly. Place eight 6-ounce ramekins in a large roasting pan or baking dish. Pour the mixture into the ramekins. Place the roasting pan in the oven, then pour hot water into the bottom of the roasting pan, enough so the water comes about halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake until set and just a teensy bit jiggly, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove the ramekins from the oven and let cool on the counter until they reach room temperature, then place the ramekins in the fridge for 2 hours to chill. If storing longer (up to 2 days), tightly wrap each ramekin in plastic wrap to ensure freshness.
• Evenly sprinkle the top of each ramekin with the turbinado sugar. Using a brulee torch, melt the sugar until it bubbles and turns dark golden brown. This will form a crunchy top. Let sit a few minutes. Serve topped with some crushed chocolate-covered espresso beans, if desired.

Steps:

• Place eight 3/4-cup custard cups in large roasting pan. Combine cream, 1 cup sugar, ground espresso beans, instant espresso powder and cinnamon stick in heavy large saucepan. Using small sharp knife, scrape seeds from vanilla bean into mixture; add bean. Bring to boil, stirring until sugar and espresso powder dissolve. Remove from heat. Cover; let stand 30 minutes. Strain through fine sieve.
• Preheat oven to 325°F. Whisk egg yolks and egg in large bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in cream mixture. Divide among custard cups in pan. Pour enough hot water into roasting pan to come halfway up sides of custard cups. Bake custards until center moves only slightly when cups are gently shaken, about 55 minutes. Remove custards from pan. Cool; refrigerate uncovered overnight.
• Preheat broiler. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon sugar over each custard. Place custard cups on baking sheet. Broil until sugar is brown and caramelized, rotating baking sheet to broil evenly and watching closely to avoid burning, 1 to 2 minutes. Chill custards 1 hour. Serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
• In a medium-size bowl, beat egg yolks and 6 tablespoons sugar with a whisk for approximately 1 minute, or until smooth. Reserve.
• In a second medium-size bowl, add coffee and 1/4 cup creme. Whisk thoroughly until smooth, then add remaining creme and whisk until well blended. Add coffee creme mixture and vanilla to egg yolks. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold together.
• Use a ladle to pour mixture into individual ramekins, 3/4 of the way to the
• top.
• Place ramekins into a roasting pan. Transfer to oven. Before closing oven
• door, pour water into pan (but not into the ramekins themselves!) until it
• reaches 1/2 way up the side of the ramekins.
• Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until when you shake the pan, the brulee giggles slightly. Remove from oven and leave out on counter, allowing the residual heat of the water to finish the cooking process.
• When brulees have fully solidified and cooled down, sprinkle 1 1/2
• tablespoons of sugar evenly overtop each individual portion. Under a watchful eye, use a small blowtorch to caramelize the sugar.
• Alternatively, place ramekins 1-inch below oven broiler until sugar caramelizes.

Steps:

• Set oven to 350 degrees F.
• Arrange 6 (about 3/4-cup size) ramekins or use custard cups in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
• In a medium saucepan combine cream and 1/4 cup sugar; bring almost to a simmer, stirring until the sugar dissolves; remove from heat and add in the coffee granules, whisk to dissolve the granules.
• In a medium bowl whisk together egg yolks; gradually whisk in the warm cream mixture, then the brandy and vanilla.
• Strain the custard into a 4-cup measuring cup (use a larger measuring cup if you are doubling the recipe) then divide/pour the mixture evenly between the ramekins or custard cups.
• Pour enhough HOT water into the 13x9 pan to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
• Bake the custards until center moves only slighty when the pan is shaken gently (about 35 minutes).
• Remove the ramekins from the pan; cool slightly and then place in refrigerator (uncovered) for 3 hours.
• Remove from fridge, cover with plastic wrap, and continue to chill overnight.
• The following day: Preheat the broiler.
• Arrange the ramekins on a small sheet.
• Shake about 2-3 teaspoons brown sugar through a small strainer onto the top of each custard forming a layer.
• Broil about 6 inches from heat until the sugar melts, bubbles and carmalizes (watch closely and rotate the sheet for even browning (about 3-4 minutes).
• Refrigerate custards until sugar topping gets hard, at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours before serving.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, stir together 1/4 cup sugar, pinch of salt, and 1 tablespoon water. Cover and cook, without stirring, over medium heat until sugar has dissolved and mixture is bubbling, about 2 minutes. Remove lid; continue to cook, swirling occasionally, until amber, about 2 minutes more. Remove from heat; carefully stir in coffee (mixture will bubble).
• When bubbling subsides, pour caramel into a 3-cup ceramic dish, or divide between two 4-inch ramekins. Tilt to completely coat bottom and halfway up sides. Let cool completely at room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 325°F. Scrape vanilla seeds into a clean small saucepan; add vanilla pod, half and half, and 1/4 cup sugar. Heat over medium until bubbles form around edges; remove from heat. In a bowl, whisk together eggs and yolk, and remaining 1/4 cup sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Slowly whisk into hot half-and-half mixture. Strain through a sieve.
• Pour into dish coated with caramel. Place in a roasting pan on center rack of oven; add boiling water to reach halfway up sides of custard dish. Bake until custard is set around edges and still slightly jiggly in center, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Remove dish from water bath and let cool completely, then refrigerate, uncovered, at least 2 hours and up to overnight. Run a thin, flexible knife around edge of crème caramel to release it. Place a serving plate on top, flip to unmold, and serve.

Steps:

• Bring pudding mix, milk and coffee to full rolling boil in saucepan on medium heat, stirring constantly. Gradually add cream cheese, cooking and stirring after each addition until cream cheese is completely melted and mixture is well blended. Remove from heat. Add vanilla and cinnamon; mix well.
• Pour into 8 (4-oz.) ramekins. Refrigerate 2 hours or until completely cooled. (Pudding thickens as it cools.)
• Heat broiler. Sprinkle sugar evenly over desserts; place on rimmed baking sheet.
• Broil, 4 inches from heat, 1 to 2 min. or until sugar is melted and golden brown. Cool slightly before serving.
