I saw this recipe in an old magazine and decided to give it a try for valentines day. I thought the flavor was OK. It could have used a little more vanilla. I read a different recipe that called for vanilla sugar in addition to the vanilla bean. Perhaps next time I will try that.
But what I really didn't like was that the cooking time was not at all accurate. After 45 min, I took it out of the oven and it was still watery. I put it in the fridge overnight and it still never set up properly. After poking around and looking at some similar recipes and their reviews, I found this to be a common complaint. In reality, these probably needed to be either cooked in a double boiler beforehand, or cooked for 65 min.

Easy and comes out beautifully. Add a few fresh raspberries or strawberries and a mint leaf or two and you have a restaurant level dessert. I always have to make a double batch - my husband LOVES this.

This recipe was extremely easy and it came out beautifully. The flavor was rich and sweet, but not too sweet and the texture was creamy. I used the broiler of my oven set on high for just a few minutes to make the crust because I didn't have a torch and it worked wonderfully. This will definitely be a staple dessert in our house from now on. And think how impressed your guests will be when you tell them you're serving creme brulee!
