Recipe: Gourmet Cognac-Vanilla Bean Crème Brûlée

Elevate a classic French dessert with the warm, rich notes of Quint Cognac Flavoring.

Ingredients:

• 500 ml Heavy Cream

• 1 whole Vanilla Bean, split and scraped

• 120 g Granulated Sugar (plus extra for topping)

• 6 large Egg Yolks

• 1.5 ml Quint Cognac Food Flavoring

Instructions for Preparation:

First Step: Combine the heavy cream, vanilla bean and its seeds in a saucepan. Heat slowly over medium heat until small bubbles form around the edge (do not boil). Remove from heat and let steep for 15 minutes.

Second Step: In a separate bowl, whisk the sugar and egg yolks together until the mixture is pale yellow and smooth.

Third Step: Remove the vanilla bean pod from the cream. Gradually temper the egg yolk mixture by slowly pouring the warm cream into the yolks, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling.

Fourth Step: Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to ensure a smooth custard. Stir in the Quint Cognac Food Flavoring until fully blended.

Fifth Step: Pour the custard into four individual ramekins. Place the ramekins in a large baking pan and fill the pan with hot water halfway up the sides of the ramekins (a water bath).

Sixth Step: Bake in a preheated oven at 150°C (300°F) for 35–40 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still slightly jiggles. Remove from the water bath and cool completely.

Seventh Step: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Before serving, sprinkle a thin, even layer of sugar over the top of each custard and caramelize with a kitchen torch until a crisp layer forms.

Recommendations for Application:

• Dosage Control: Start with a lower dosage of the Cognac flavor (around 0.2%–0.3%) as it is highly concentrated, then adjust to taste. Too much can overpower delicate ingredients.

• Synergy with Vanilla: This flavor pairs exceptionally well with vanilla, chocolate, coffee, and nutty notes (almonds, walnuts).

• Storage: Store the flavoring in a cool, dark place away from direct heat to maintain its potency.
