Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Gather the ingredients, and necessary tools like a large saucepan, large bowl, baking sheet, wire whisk, etc.

  2. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Lightly grease four to six individual ramekins with butter or non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

  3. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, softened butter, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, heavy cream, salt, a pinch of nutmeg, and white pepper until smooth.

  4. Slowly add the fresh lump crab meat into the cream mixture, be careful not to break up the crab too much.

  5. Divide the crab meat mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins.

  6. Place the filled ramekins on a baking sheet and put them in the preheated oven.

    You can pour hot water over the baking sheet around the ramekins, creating a water bath to ensure slow, even cooking.
  7. Bake the Crab Brulee recipe in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until the custard is set around the edges but slightly jiggly in the center.

  8. Once baked, remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool to room temperature for about 10 minutes.

  9. Sprinkle a thin, even layer of granulated sugar over the top of each ramekin, covering the entire surface.

  10. Use a kitchen blowtorch to caramelize the sugar and move the flame in a circular motion until the sugar melts and becomes golden and crispy.

  11. Make sure to let the Crab Brulee recipe cool for a few more minutes before serving. The sugar topping will harden as it cools, making a delightful contrast to the creamy crab-filled custard.

  12. Serve your Crab Creme Brulee immediately and enjoy the rich flavor and luxurious texture of this unique dessert!
