Creme Brulee

To make this ultimately French dessert, start by making the same basic cream as in the Creme Anglaise recipe—just substitute the milk with whipping cream. Pour this cream into individual ramekins, then chill until set. Cover with a layer of brown sugar and caramelize using a cook’s blowtorch.
