Ask the Chef – Tips & Tricks
Room Temperature Eggs: Make sure to use eggs at room temperature when making the custard. Room temperature eggs mix more easily and create a smoother custard.
Slowly Add Liquids: It’s important to add the hot cream mixture to the egg mixture slowly and gradually while whisking constantly. This will prevent the eggs from curdling and ensure a smooth custard.
Strain the Custard: Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve before pouring it over the Oreo crust to remove any lumps. This will give you a perfectly smooth and velvety-textured custard.
Water Bath: The water bath is an essential part of making the brulee. It helps the custard cook evenly and prevents it from cracking. Be careful when pouring water to avoid getting any in the custard.
Cool Before Topping: Make sure the custard is completely chilled before adding the crushed Oreo cookies to the top. Adding the cookie crumbs while the custard is warm will cause them to sink and create a gooey, messy end-result.
Caramelizing the Sugar: Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar by melting it and forming a golden crust on top of the custard. Move the torch constantly and pay close attention to avoid burning the sugar.
Serve Immediately: Serve the brulee immediately after caramelizing the sugar to ensure optimal texture and temperature.”
