Hi, I’m Francis,
the host of this show "Cooking with Dog."
First, let’s combine the cream mixture.
Pour the milk into a pot.
And add the heavy cream.
Sieve the matcha green tea powder into the pot.
Dissolve the matcha thoroughly with a balloon whisk.
Then, press the remaining lumps of matcha
through the fine mesh strainer to help dissolve evenly.
Next, break the 2 egg yolks
and add the sugar.
Beat the egg mixture thoroughly with a balloon whisk.
Then, add the mixture to the pot.
Now, turn on the burner to slightly thicken the egg mixture.
Heat the mixture on low heat and stir continuously.
Matcha powder easily settles while baking.
Giving the egg mixture a slightly thick consistency
will help keep the matcha from settling.
Strain the egg mixture through the mesh strainer.
This will help to create a very smooth texture.
Place 4 ramekins in a deep cake pan
and pour in the mixture while stirring.
Now, let’s bake the custard mixture.
Preheat the oven to 140°C (284°F)
and place the cake pan into it.
Then, pour hot water into the pan
until the ramekins are about halfway submerged.
Remove 1 of the ramekins beforehand
so that you can easily pour in the hot water.
Bake at 140°C (284°F) for about 20~25 minutes
until the custard base is set.
Now, it is ready.
Remove the ramekins and place them onto a cooling rack.
Let them sit to cool and then
thoroughly chill the creme brulee in the fridge.
And now, let’s make the caramel layer on top.
Place the ramekin on a tray and sprinkle the sugar on top.
With a blow torch, caramelize the sugar evenly.
Using a gas torch could be dangerous
so make sure to ask an adult for help if you are a child.
Then, chill the creme brulee in the fridge for about 10 minutes
to give the caramel a crisp and crunchy texture.
Ja-ja-ja-jaaaaaan!
The baking time depends on the type of oven and ramekins
so you should check the custard after about 20~25 minutes
and adjust the time accordingly.
You can also use vanilla beans instead of the matcha,
making the recipe authentic creme brulee.
Good luck in the kitchen!
