Candy Corn Creme Brulee

31 Days of Fun Fall Ideas- Idea #11



Creme Brulee

3 cups heavy cream
six egg yolks
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup brown sugar

In a double boiler, heat cream until bubbles start to form around the edge.  In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks and sugar.  Slowly add to cream mixture.
-Cook over medium heat until mixture coats a metal spoon.  Remove from heat and add vanilla.  Whisk until smooth or strain if lumpy.  Divide mixture in thirds, leave one mixture untouched and dye 1/3 yellow and 1/3 orange.
-While still warm, layer mixture in dessert glasses to resemble colors of candy corn.  Pour into ramekins or petit dessert cups and refrigerate over night.
-1 hour before serving, sprinkle brown sugar over tops of glasses and broil 1-2 minutes in oven until sugar melts and forms a crust.  Serve chilled.

NOTE:  This can also be baked in the oven instead of cooked on the stove.  If baking, place petit glasses in a pan with edges and cover glasses at least 1/2 way with water.  Bake at 300 degrees for 30 minutes or until mixture looks set.  Refrigerate.  Then Broil brown sugar using same process.
