Ingredients:
-
4 cups Heavy Cream
-
6 Sprigs Fresh Tarragon, plus more to garnish
-
6 Tbsp Sugar, plus more to top
-
6 Large Eggs Yolks
-
Fresh Berries, to garnish
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 325F. In a small saucepan, bring the heavy cream and tarragon to a light simmer, careful not to boil the mixture.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the sugar and eggs until well combined and the eggs begin to lighten in color.
- Remove the tarragon sprig from the cream with a spider strainer. Add ¼ cup of the hot cream to the eggs while whisking to temper the eggs, then whisk in the remaining cream. Add vinegar and stir to combine.
- Pour the cream into ramekins that are preferably wide and shallow. Place ramekins into a large baking dish. Fill the baking dish with hot water halfway up the ramekin, careful not to get water in the cream.
- Add to the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until crème brûlée is set but slightly jiggly in the middle.
- Remove from the oven, and let cool slightly before refrigerating for at least two hours.
- Before serving add 2-3 tsp sugar to the top of the crème brûlée and brown using a kitchen torch. If you don’t have a kitchen torch broil on high for 2-3 minutes or until golden
- Garnish with berries and tarragon.
