“Stands the Church clock at ten to three? And is there honey still for tea?” – Rupert Brooke
Creme Brulee is the Queen of desserts, and how better to make it than with honey!
Honey Creme Brulee
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups heavy cream
- 1 vanilla bean, split and scraped
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 6 large egg yolks
- 2 quarts hot water
Directions
Preheat the oven to 3oo degrees F.
Place the cream, vanilla bean and its pulp into a medium saucepan set over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, cover and allow to sit for 15 minutes. Remove the vanilla bean and reserve for another use.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey and the egg yolks until well blended and it just starts to lighten in color. Add the cream a little at a time, stirring continually. Pour the liquid into 6 (7 to 8-ounce) ramekins. Place the ramekins into a large cake pan or roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake just until the creme brulee is set, but still trembling in the center, approximately 40 to 50 minutes. Remove the ramekins from the roasting pan and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 3 days.
Remove the creme brulee from the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes prior to browning the sugar on top. Divide the 1/2 cup sugar equally among the 6 dishes and spread evenly on top. Using a torch or the oven broiler, melt the sugar and form a crispy top. Allow the creme brulee to sit for at least 5 minutes before serving.
SO good!!

I altered this recipe, using sourwood honey to add a savory flavor to cut some of the vanilla taste, also as a garnish i cut a wedge out of raw honey comb and hit it with a quick brulee… Looked AMAZING!
