Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
-
In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to steam. Remove from heat.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until well combined.
-
Slowly pour the heated cream into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly.
-
Add the vanilla extract and whisk until smooth.
-
Slice the ripe bananas and arrange them in the bottom of four ramekins.
-
Pour the custard mixture over the bananas, dividing it evenly among the ramekins.
-
Place the ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
-
Carefully transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
-
Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature.
-
Once cooled, refrigerate the ramekins for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
-
When ready to serve, sprinkle each ramekin with a tablespoon of brown sugar.
-
Using a kitchen torch, carefully melt and caramelize the sugar until it forms a crispy top.
-
Allow the brulees to sit for a few minutes to let the sugar harden.
-
Serve and enjoy!
