For a while now I've been telling Mr Chris I can make a very nice crème brûlée, so this weekend I decided to prove it.
Every time I make these I forget just how easy they are. I use a recipe from the BBC GoodFood website, I've tried some others but this is definitely the one that works and gives the perfect consistency. If you don't have a chefs blowtorch you can place the ramekins under the grill to caramelise the sugary tops. The blowtorch is much more fun though!
If you are a crème brûlée fan, you must give these a go, Mr Chris was not disappointed.
And what follows brûlée? Meringue!
I hate food waste so I used the left over egg whites to make some Lemon Meringue cupcakes. Mr Chris was full of brûlée so he struggled to make his way through these but I had no trouble giving them away.
I took some to work but as I didn't have enough for all of my colleagues it was first come first served. They were gone in less then a minute :)
Lemon flavoured sponge, filled with lemon curd and topped with tasty meringue.
