Baking Gordon Ramsay’s Creme Brulee is a dare that I gave to myself because I knew that the recipe is not as easy as it looks.
Well, to be honest, I was partly right, as I messed up everything on the first try. However, by the time I was baking the second one, I knew that I had gotten it right this time.
After this, every weekend, my kitchen would be filled with sweet notes of Creme Brulee, and people would be stuffing themselves even after having a big dinner.
So, if you also want to master the Creme Brulee by Gordon Ramsay, then you need to try this recipe. You need to be a little patient and not freak out if the custard curdles or anything. Just throw everything away and restart from scratch.
