Notes
1. Cream:
Australia: This recipe calls for pure cream. Thickened cream also works, but pure cream will give a cleaner, more refined mouthfeel (in my opinion). Light cream does work too but it lacks the richness; US: Use heavy cream.
2. Vanilla – It’s most authentic to use a vanilla pod but you could use vanilla bean paste. You really want those little black vanilla seeds visible for the true experience!!
3.Leftover egg whites–Here’s my listof what I do with them and all my egg white recipes can be foundin this recipe collection.
4. Recipe source – Adapted in part from the Creme Brûlée recipe from Manu Fiedel’s French Kitchen cookbook.
5. Nutrition – Never mind the nutrition. This is worth it! 🙂
