Custard’s Last Stand

[weaktwos]

I don’t think I expounded on the crème brulee I made. So here’s the scoop:

First, I make the base custard:
2 cups cream
2/3 cup sugar
Boil
Let cool 15 minutes
Add 2 more cups cream
Mix with 12 egg yolks
Add vanilla flavoring (2 tsp)
Separate into ramekins

Then I added liqueurs to them:
Two with kahlua
Two with chambord
Two with amaretto
Two with glenmorangie 12 year port finish scotch (this ended up quite good)
Two with grand marnier
Two plain vanilla

The crowd went wild! There was not a drop left o’ that.

And then, I had made a second batch. So it went the same as the first batch, but instead of different liqueurs, I added:
Fresh peaches diced with sugar to make a little syrup on the bottom of the ramekins.
Pour custard over peaches
1 tspoon of chivas regal scotch to each ramikin, stir a wee bit.
Bake
Chill
Torch the Turbinado. Revel in torchy goodness
Serve and impress.
