Ingredients

  • 375 mL (1 ½ cups) Butter Pecan Ensure® Regular
  • 2 eggs
  • 30 mL (2 Tbsp) sugar
  • 2 mL (½ tsp) vanilla extract
  • Sugar for topping

How to make

  1. Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F).
  2. In a medium-size bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until smooth.
  3. Add Ensure® Regular and vanilla to egg mixture. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold together.
  4. Divide mixture into 4 ramekins or custard cups. Place ramekins into an ovenproof pan.
  5. Pour water into the pan until water is halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Place pan in oven.
  6. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until crème brûlée "wiggles" slightly. Remove ramekins from water.
  7. Refrigerate until completely cold.
  8. When ready to serve, sprinkle about 5 mL (1 tsp) of sugar on top of each ramekin. Place under the oven broiler (or pass a kitchen torch over the surface) until sugar caramelizes and turns light brown.

Tip

Turn your crème brûlée into a fruit-custard by topping it with your favourite "coulis".
