Instructions
-
1Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Place four ramekins in a deep baking dish.
-
2Slowly heat cream with split vanilla bean and vanilla seeds until just before boiling. Remove from heat, let steep 10 minutes.
-
3Cream egg yolks with sugar and salt — do not whip into foam.
-
4Stir cannabis oil into cooled cream (max 140°F / 60°C, otherwise it breaks).
-
5Remove vanilla bean. Slowly add cream-cannabis mixture to egg yolk mixture while stirring constantly.
-
6Strain through fine sieve into ramekins.
-
7Pour hot water into baking dish until halfway up ramekins — water bath prevents curdling.
-
8Bake 45-55 minutes until cream jiggles slightly only in center. Cool, refrigerate minimum 3 hours.
-
9Just before serving: Distribute 1 tsp brown sugar evenly on each crème. Caramelize with kitchen torch until deep brown and glossy — 3-4 layers for maximum crunch.
Pro Tips
- Temperature when stirring in cannabis oil is critical: above 158°F (70°C) the fat separates.
- No kitchen torch? Place directly under oven broiler at 475°F (240°C) — watch timing carefully.
- Leftovers without caramel keep 3 days in refrigerator — always make caramel fresh.
