Ingredients

  • 3 cups whipping cream
  • 5 egg yolks
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons dark rum
  • 1 tablespoon brandy
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 325°F. Place eight 6-oz. ramekins or custard cups in 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Heat whipping cream in medium saucepan just to a simmer. Remove from heat.
  • 2
    In medium bowl, combine egg yolks and eggs; beat well. Stir in sugar until combined. With wire whisk, stir in hot whipping cream until well blended. Stir in rum, brandy, vanilla and nutmeg. Pour mixture into ramekins.
  • 3

  • 5
    Before serving, place ramekins in 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Top each with 1 tablespoon brown sugar. Broil 4 to 6 inches from heat for 1 to 2 minutes or until sugar is melted. (Watch closely.) Store in refrigerator.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    To sugar-coat the cooled custards, hold a strainer over each ramekin and press the brown sugar through. The even layer of brown sugar on the custards will melt evenly under the broiler. Ramekins are small, individual-sized baking dishes made of porcelain, earthenware or glass. Look for them at kitchen specialty shops.
  • tip 2
    To make Classic Crème Brûleé, omit the rum, brandy and nutmeg. Increase the vanilla to 1 1/2 teaspoons.
