Creme Brulee?

[Agrion]

Has anyone been able to get close to the flavor of creme brulee using TV DIY flavors?

I have been searching high and low and it seems like this flavor is almost feared.

If anyone can nail it I bet Geoff can.

Hey Geoff, wadda ya think? Can it be done?

The irish cream is pretty darn close minus the whiskey. I think geoff could hit it spot on! I'd love a good creme brulee!
Im very fond of dairy juices

Wouldn't that be Vanilla Custard + Caramel?

ETA: Sorry, I meant "wouldn't that be vanilla custard + burnt caramel?"

 

[Agrion]

Well, in real life it's:
heavy cream
egg yolks
vanilla
sugar
a little salt (optional)
and caramelize the top

You're right Poeia Vanilla Custard + Caramel would be close but probably not close enough.

Can the burnt caramel flavor be done without it tasting like burnt carto filler?

As soon as I seen the OP, this is what I was thinking too.

The top of creme brulee is caramelized sugar, which is a bit different than caramel. Caramel and custard would probably come close, though. That sounds pretty good.

 

[Poeia]

It also sounds like flan, which, as far as I'm concerned, is Creme Brulee without the crust.

They're certainly similar. Both are among my favorite desserts, so would probably be pretty tasty to vape. I keep coming up with other things I should try. I wasn't going to order for a while, but the list of things to try keeps growing. I want Geoff to do the CYO flavor of the week again!

 

[Agrion]

Creme brulee is my all-time favorite desert. I would love to see if it can be done right.

I have continued to search and haven't come up with anything good. Apparently a couple of vendors have tried this in the past but took it down.

I shot Geoff an email to ask him if it could be done well. If he thinks he can come close I'll try it in a heartbeat.

Mmmm the maple syrup taste in waffles kinda has the crust flavor. Flan has more yolk in it than creme Brulee. I wonder how else to re create the caramelized sugar taste? That reminds me of the last cruise I went on with royal caribbean, they did a coffee creme brulee that was to die for! I ate two and was tempted to take a couple more back to my cabin

That's how I am with creme brulee. Whenever I have it in a restaurant it's always served in a little dish , it's never enough.

I made it at home once but I don't have a blow torch. My friend who owns a restaurant advised me to scorch (broil) it in the oven. I turned out pretty good but you really need a blow torch

 

[markimar]

Yup me too kicked myself for not grabbing more cause they didn't serve it again! I think that was the best brulee I ever had! Hmmm no blow torch ummm you could always use a lighter and a can of hairspray! Lol wait thats how I got my avatar look

A lighter and a can of hairspray would probably work pretty good. LOL

Hey, that's pretty cool and it's only $20! Gotta get me one of those.

And if my PV dies I can always use it to vaporize some liquid

 

[Poeia]

Bed Bath & Beyond and Amazon have them too. Search for "kitchen blowtorch."

 

[Agrion]

Well, Geoff accepted the challenge. He said he has the components to "likely pull it off".

I agreed to be the guinea pig and placed an order (along with a bunch of other stuff )

I haven't had a hard time letting liquids sit when I first get them sice I have enough others to keep me busy but this time is going to be hard

 

[Agrion]

Thanks Poeia

 

[NewLou]

I also LOVE creme brulee. I will be watching for info with as much interest as I stalked the waffles. I have already vaped half of my waffle juice, and am now having to ration it so it will last until I can order more after Sept 1st.

And with a brand new "popping" carto, I could also get that sensation of the crust cracking when you first dig in....yummy!

 

[Upinthehills]

Let us know how it is, Agrion. I bet Geoff can pull it off.
