Equipment

  • Instant Pot
  • Ramekins
  • Trivet
  • Kitchen Torch
  • Fine-mesh sieve

Ingredients:  

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar for caramelizing

Instructions: 

  • In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream until hot but not boiling. Remove from heat.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and egg yolks until well combined.
  • Slowly pour the hot cream into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
  • Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
  • Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into ramekins.
  • Place a trivet in the Instant Pot and add 1 cup of water. Arrange the ramekins on the trivet.
  • Close the lid, set the valve to sealing, and cook on high pressure for 8 minutes.
  • Allow natural pressure release for 10 minutes, then manually release any remaining pressure.
  • Carefully remove the ramekins from the Instant Pot and let them cool. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • Before serving, sprinkle brown sugar on top of each creme brulee and caramelize with a kitchen torch.

Notes:

Make sure to whisk constantly when adding the hot cream to the egg mixture to prevent the eggs from cooking.
