Smoked Cre'me Brule'e

Since I brought up Cre'me Brule'e lets start there.

This is one of my favorite desserts it's not only smoked it has vanilla in it. (The best of both worlds. How can you get any better than that.)
To make Cre'me Brule'e you will need
6 Egg yolks
1/4 cup Sugar
1 1/2 cup heavy cream
1 Vanilla bean roe or 1 tsp vanilla extract
Combine egg yolks and sugar and whisk until dissolved and egg yolk is thick and light in color. Add Cream and Vanilla. Stir gently.
Pour mixture into ramekins and place in water bath.
Smoke at 300 degrees for 75 minutes or until edges are set, but still slightly loose in center.(you can also cook in your oven at 300 degrees for 50 to 55 minutes)

Remove from smoker/oven and place on wire rack to cool. Remove from wire rack and chill for at least 2 hours.
You can serve the Cre'me Brule'e right from the ramekins by just sprinkling each one with 1 1/2 teaspoons of sugar and melting it with a small hand-held torch or place it under your oven broiler until the sugar melts.
I prefer to remove it from the ramekins and make golden cages of sugar to go over it.(As seen in the Picture)
