Finding love is like making creme brûlée. It may take a few tries before you get it right.

This week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Creme Brûlée Tart. As the name suggests, it’s creme brûlée in a tart shell. There are a few berries in the bottom too, although you can’t see them in the photo.
I made two miniature tarts and baked the leftover filling in a ramekin for a standard creme brûlée.
I enjoyed this challenge because I used a kitchen blowtorch for the first time. I was a little scared of it, but I think it went ok. I already had the blowtorch, but had never used it because I had bought it to make Bombe Alaska for a dinner party, only to discover that someone did not like meringue. It was therefore great to finally have a reason to use it.
These little tarts were nice - making one big one would have been fun, but my circumstances at present do not warrant that.

Probably making little ones as well :) Looks good!
ReplyDeleteDear Gaye, first off, I love that quote about making crème brûlée - how fun is that?! Then, of course, I adore your small version Tarte, such a pretty shape and how nice that you finally had the chance to use your small blowtorch!
ReplyDeleteWell done, my friend!
Congratulations on using the blowtorch for the first time. I am looking forward to this and it sounds like the berries were a good add.
