Creme Brulee!
Once again, Dorie Greenspan is my hero!I thought creme brulee was a difficult dessert involving a water-bath, whisking a crazy custard together, and should be only ordered in a restaurant.
But thanks to Dorie, I can make it at home!!
Be sure to check out the other Tuesdays with Dorie bakers! And don't forget to buy Dorie's book, Baking: From My Home to Yours so you can make it yourself (page 393). Also, if you are interested in joining the group as we make our way through Dorie's book, you have until the end of October!

I usually make my crème brûlée like this recipe. And I totally agree: Cracking the brulee ceiling is the best

ooh...that bottom photo made my salivary glands spasm!
I love the little ramekins - and the crackly tops.
These pictures are gloriously tempting! I love the 12 little ramekins, they are adorable! I admit to thinking just like you. Creme brulee was too difficult and to be eaten in a restaurant. Not any more!
You did an amazing job! That first crack into the brulee must have been so fun.
I love those little brulees. So many to look at and so pretty.
looks perfect, and what cute itsy-bitsy ramekins!
i do agree about the cracking of the ceiling! my gosh.. your last photo looks so good! wish i had a camera that good to capture that!
What cute little ramekins!
It looks like a difficult dessert, but it really isn't! Just think of the flavor possibilities - yum!
Wow, that is a perfect ceiling of sugar! I made the tea variation, and it's fabulous.

Your little ramekins look so cute!!
I absolutely loved these creme brulees!
The last photo is beautiful! Your ramekins are too cute!
I thought the same thing too! Creme brulee wasn't something you could do at home, it was only in restaurants. Boy am I glad I am wrong! Wasn't that the best dessert ever? Mmmmm....

Oh good lord, these look perfect! I agree - I want to try the whole playing around thing, the cardamon and orange sounded good to me. Another excellent post!
I mean, anyone would have to admit... there is not much more to say than... WOW!
I want that one! I want that one!
Let me know if ever you open a restaurant... I'm there in a flash!
BRAVO!
It looks amazing! Great job!
Creme Bruleerrific!!!
OMG...your mini ramekins are so cute (sequels with delight)!!! Great pictures and great crème brûlée!
The little ramekins are so cute! Your dessert looks delicious!
Your crusts look marvelous! I think really small servings like are great for this dessert.
2.5 ozers? Too cute! They look perfect, and I'm glad this restaurant dessert can now be made at home :)
I know I already commented but I just saw your comment on Macduff's blog about PR. Amen sister! 1930s-wearing-flower-in-hair-girl needs to get aufed pronto! If Jerrell gets aufed I will be so pissed. I might have to boycott the finale. Ok I probably won't but still. I'll be indignant. Hrrummmph... Ultimately I want Leanne to win but I'd be ok with Korto or Jerrell. Please not Kenley! Anyone but her! Sorry just wanted to share my PR addiction with you. HAHA. Back to your regular scheduled TWD commenting...

wow, I am so pumped to try this now. Yours looks great. I went with something different because I was scared of the torch. Imagine, a grown up scared of a little torch! :)
They look great. Since they're smaller, you can eat a couple, right?!
I have to find some of those tiny ramekins - portion control will take guilt out of eating these!
Cute! I love the tiny servings! I love the sugar cracking too!
Those are so pretty. I wish I could dig in!
I love your little ramekins! They are so cute!! Yum-Yum!
Thanks for making me drool. Did you make enough to save me one? Those pictures are awesome. I love the crackle of the sugar top with the spoon. Excellent job! :)
i love the spoon in the picture, it's beautiful :) great pictures.
fantastic job!!! I love the small size of your ramekins :)
Absolutely awesome looking brulee! Your pictures are great, I love cracking the tops too.
I love your broken glass cracks of brulee! I love mini-size anything too (esp dessert). It keeps me from eating too much. :P
Amazing looking little creme brulees. Glad you found a new favorite...
oh yours looks sooo good! I love the cracks!
The tiny ramekins are so cute. I will have to pick those up. I am bitter I didn't make them yet!
You're on a miniature dessert roll! These look adorable in the mini-ramekins, but I wouldn't have any portion control...i'd like 4 of those minis please!
The crackly photos are so cool! It looks delicious!
I can't believe how easy this recipe was. If only I could make it every week without putting on the pounds.
Great pictures of your brulée! I love the little ramekins. I definitely have to try this once I get my hands on a torch.
Your little army of brulee-lets are so cute! 2.5 oz seems like a much more manageable amount of dessert. And I agree--omitting the water bath is genius. Gorgeous job!
"...I woke up and torched my desert..." I need to say that more often...I need to do that more often!
I love when you make stuff in little cups...I know - ramekins...or those little tartlets...
does that mean you had creme brulee for breakfast?? you rule!! :) hehe. i couldn't believe how easy it was either! awesome job and great pics!
btw have you ever seen the tiny espresso spoons? that's what i used to eat this with my mini ramekins... perfect size :)
Oh my goodness, so happy to have come across yours--those gorgeous little icicle shards of caramelly goodness atop the dish of creamy delightfulness--oh my!
Yours look so perfect!
I love the tiny ramekins! It's almost guilt-free when it's that small! I was also pleasantly surprised at how easy these were to make at home; it is really a fantastic make-ahead dessert. You pix are wonderful, and your brulees look just perfect!
I like the cracked caramel. It a great combo the creaminess of the creme and the crunchiness of the caramel. This looks delicious
oh my goodness - your caramelized topping looks so perfect! i am envious!
Beautiful brulees. The cracking of the tops is really cool.
I love your mini ramekins! Looks delicious!
This looks so great! I love your ramekins and your pictures are beautiful!
