How To Make liquorice crème brûlée

  • 1
    Heat the cream with the liquorice powder until it reaches around 80 degrees (bring to a simmer but do not boil). Remove from the heat and leave for 30 minutes.
  • 2
    Beat the egg yolks and the caster sugar together.
  • 3
    Mix the egg yolk mixture with the liquorice cream and pour into ramekins. Bake in the oven in a bain-marie in a deep roasting tin for about an hour at 100 degrees.
  • 4
    Remove and leave to cool.
  • 5
    Sprinkle with brown sugar and caramelize with a blowtorch. If you don't have blowtorch, you can also pop them under the grill to caramelize the top but you may need to put them back into the fridge for a little while afterwards to cool down before serving.
  • 6
    Serve on plates decorated with liquorice powder or with small liquorice pieces.
