Ingredients
- 9 lrg egg yolks
- 3/4 c. sugar
- 3 Tbsp. bourbon
- 1Â 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2Â 1/2 c. whipping cream
- 6 Tbsp. golden sugar
- 1/2 c. coarsely-minced toasted pecans
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place six 3/4-c. souffle dishes or possibly custard c. in large roasting pan. Whisk egg yolks, sugar, bourbon and vanilla extract in large bowl to blend. Bring whipping cream to boil in heavy medium saucepan. Gradually whisk warm whipping cream into egg yolk mix. Pour custard into souffle dishes, dividing equally.
- Pour sufficient warm water into roasting pan to come halfway up sides of souffle dishes. Bake custards till just set in center, about 30 min. Remove from water and cold completely. Cover and chill at least 6 hrs. (Custards can be prepared up to 2 days ahead. Keep covered and refrigerated.)
- Preheat broiler. Arrange souffle dishes on baking sheet. Sprinkle 1 Tbsp. golden sugar proportionately over each. Broil till sugar melts and turns dark brown, rotating baking sheet for even browning and watching closely, about 2 min. Sprinkle creme brulees with minced toasted pecans, dividing equally. Cold slightly and serve.
- This recipe yields 6 servings.
- Comments: "The last time I was in Texas, where I'm from originally, I had dinner at Zuni Grill on the San Antonio Riverwalk. I felt right at home when I took a bite of the pecans in the clever, southern-style creme brulee," says Linda M. Dunn of Sparks, Nevada. "I'd like to try making it at home."
- Toasted pecans are sprinkled over the creme brulee after the sugar is caramelized so which the nuts do not burn. Note which the custards can be prepared two days ahead of time. Caramelize the sugar on top of the custards up to two hrs before serving, if desired.
