My first time making creme brulee and it was divine, velvety and satisfying accomplishment. Two thumbs up. I didn't have a blow torch so I broiled it for 3 mins or so while keeping an eye on it to avoid burning it. Try adding a few slices of lemon zest to give it an aromatic flavor. Happy cooking!

I followed this recipe step by step and it came out nearly perfect! It was missing something at the end... just a touch of salt. I added a teeny tiny sprinkle on top of the finished product and that worked out perfectly! I felt the salt balanced out the sweetness of the sugar. Thank you Alton for a restaurant quality desert : Delish!!

FAB-U-LOUS!!
My hubby's favorite and I made it as a surprise tonight. Only problem was that I couldn't find my torch and the lighter didn't work so well. Only one of the three I brûléed turned out with a phenomenal crust. The custard was amazing! Can't wait to find my torch and try it again :

Wonderful! Only change I made was to use regular sugar instead of vanilla sugar and it was fantastic. Not too creamy, not too eggy. A total winner!

First time out, I followed the recipe to the letter. Fantastic results! Custard was rich and creamy. Alton's descriptions of what to look for (yolk/sugar color, when to remove from oven were spot on. Had I not watched the very brief video, I'm sure I would have overcooked. I did add extra shot of vanilla - about 1 tsp - still got the fragrant, subtle flavored creme I was looking for - highly recommend this recipe for both ease and end result.

This being my first creme brulee I ever had, I guess it they're not my style. It was good but just about it.

As a professional Pastry Chef, I have been doing Cream Brulee of years. This recipe is one of the best out there. Great flavor, easy to do at home, and with the addition of the vanilla sugar, I thought this recipe was amazing! For New Years, I added some pink guava puree to the cream while heating, and got a wonderful tropical burlee.
