I have never fixed creme brulee before or never tried it. But this is a great recipe. We couldn't wait to try before it chilled. The only problem I had was I didn't have a torch & I used a lighter. Everyone in my family loved it. I will definetly fix it again.

I am not a fan of this person but this recipe really rocks. I have cooked it at least 5 times over the past two months and it is a winner. Every time. I actually tried to mix things up recently with several other recipes but the family wouldn't stand for it. The only issue I have is saving enough Grand Marnier for the recipe! Gulp, gulp, gulp! Thanks for sharing this, Ina. I am really looking forward to cooking the raspberry version soon.

When I don't want the orange flavor, and real vanilla beans, I use Alton Browns recipe, which is excellent as well. Check it out.

My husband made this recepie, taking past reviewers' advice and adding vanilla bean to the milk. It came out perfectly, better than we've ever had in a restaurant. The texture was smooth and the flavor was spot on. We won't ever need another brulee recepie.

Great recipe! A wonderful make-ahead dessert. Be sure to strain before pouring as Ina recommended during the show. I used large eggs instead of XL. Grand Marnier is expensive and the tatse is subtle. So if you would like to omit or use another liquer, it would still be awesome. My friends and family like to torch their own. I used turbinado sugar. FANTASTIC.

I wanted to make a chocolate creme brulee but couldn't find a recipe - so I used this one, and added 1/4 cup cocoa powder and substituted Kahlua for the Orange liquer - and otherwise followed the recipe. It came out great - and I'm going to make it again for a birthday dinner tomorrow night!

I make it a point to taste creme brulee at restaurants. I made this recipe for my dinner guests. It was easy to prepare and boy, was it a HIT. I added 1 tsp more vanilla. Used an orange liqueur saving a trip to the market. Topped it with mint after carmelizing. The best recipe ever. Thanks Ina

If you have ever been skeptical about making this - Ina'a recipe is the easiest and most flavorful one that I have come across! I even made it and brought it to work - a big hit!! How much fun is it to use a torch, too! I had to bake this a bit longer - about 10 to 15 minutes longer than stated time & I have a new oven - I used individual ramekins and it turned out wonderfully well. I used a vanilla bean instead of the grand marnier and it turned out great....fresh raspberries on top; what a great dessert - thank you, Ina!!
