BUTTERSCOTCH CRèME BRûLéE RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:

• Bring the heavy cream and 1/2 cup of the sugar to a simmer in a 2-qt saucepan. Lightly whisk together the egg yolks and 1/4 cup of the sugar in a medium-size mixing bowl. Temper the egg mixture by slowly pouring the cream mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Add the vanilla and the rum and continue whisking until fully incorporated. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl. Place the bowl with the brûlée mixture into an ice water bath and let cool completely. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Place the ramekins in a large baking dish, and then divide the brûlée mixture evenly between the ramekins, filling them 3/4 of the way full. Place the baking dish in the middle rack of the oven, and then fill it with hot tap water to 2/3 of the way up the ramekin sides. If you're using 7 (3-oz) ramekins bake for 25-35 minutes or 35-45 minutes for 4 (5-oz) ramekins, until a there's a light jiggle in the centers. Remove the ramekins from the oven and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. Just before serving, sprinkle the white sugar over each cooled crème brûlée and torch until all of the sugar is melted and golden brown. Serve immediately.

BUTTERSCOTCH CREME BRULEE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Split vanilla bean down the middle and scrape out the insides. Heat heavy cream, half-and-half, and vanilla bean (all of it, including the husk) on medium-high until it just comes to a boil. Remove from heat, cover, and allow to rest for 15 minutes.
• Whisk egg yolks and 2/3 cup of sugar together with butterscotch liqueur. Gradually stream some of the hot cream and vanilla mixture into the bowl while constantly stirring. Keep stirring to keep egg from scrambling. Continue until both mixtures are fully incorporated.
• Pour mixture through a fine mesh strainer and equally divide between 4 ramekins. Place the ramekins in a deep baking pan. Add enough water to come to halfway up the side of the ramekins.
• Cook in oven for 45 minutes, until the surface is set but still trembling when shaken.
• Allow to cool slightly, then move to refrigerator to cool for at least 2 hours and up to 3 days.
• When ready to finish, remove from refrigerator and place at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. Distribute 1 tablespoon of sugar on the surface of each ramekin. Gently rotate and tap the sides of each ramekin if necessary.
• Using a brulee torch set to the highest setting, gradually melt the sugar on the surface of each ramekin. The sugar will bead up and turn to liquid form; move the torch to another area if the sugar starts to blacken. Some blackening is desirable. After going over the surface, some unmelted sugar will remain. Go back over these areas with the torch until they're melted, but stop if it turns black.
• Allow to sit for a few minutes before serving.

BUTTERSCOTCH CRèME BRûLéE WITH PINK PEPPERCORN WHIPPED CREAM AND WHITE CHOCOLATE SEA SALT POPCORN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• For the white chocolate popcorn: Set up a double boiler. Add the white chocolate and stir to melt. Whisk in the coconut oil, then set aside to cool.
• Place the popped popcorn onto a sheet pan lined with a silicone mat. Pour the white chocolate evenly over the popcorn and sprinkle with smoked sea salt. Place into the freezer to chill for at least 10 minutes, or until the chocolate is set. Remove from the freezer and break into pieces.
• For the butterscotch crème brûlée: In a medium saucepan, add in the heavy cream, instant espresso powder and vanilla bean paste. Bring to a light simmer for 15 minutes. Take off the heat and cool for 15 minutes.
• In a non-reactive bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and 1/2 cup of the sugar until combined and lighter in color. Slowly add in the heated cream mixture, whisking constantly. Pour the mixture into twelve 8-ounce ramekins. Place the ramekins into a large roasting pan and fill the roasting pan with the hot water, making sure not to get the crème wet. Bake until the crème is set and just a teensy bit jiggly, 40 minutes. Place into the fridge for at least 2 hours to cool. If storing longer (up to 2 days) tightly wrap each ramekin to ensure freshness.
• Take the crème out of the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving. Evenly top the ramekins with the remaining 1/2 cup sugar. Using a brûlée torch, melt the sugar until it bubbles and turns dark golden brown. This will form a crispy top that will only get crispier for the next 5 minutes, so be sure to wait a couple more.
• For the pink peppercorn whipped cream: Whip the cream with a hand mixer until soft peaks form. Stir in the pink peppercorns.
• Serve immediately topped with the pink peppercorn whipped cream and white chocolate sea salt popcorn.

BUTTERSCOTCH CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Brush pie crust lightly with egg white to seal. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until light brown and crisp. Remove from oven and reduce temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a small bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar and salt; set aside. In the top of a double boiler over medium heat, scald the milk while stirring with a whisk. Slowly whisk in the flour mixture. Cook, stirring constantly until thickened; remove from heat.
• Place the egg yolks in a medium bowl. Stir in 1/3 of the milk mixture, whisking constantly, to temper the yolks. Pour the yolk mixture back into the pan. Return to the stove and cook, stirring constantly, until thick. Remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla. Pour into baked pie crust.
• In a large glass or metal mixing bowl, beat egg whites, cream of tartar, and confectioners' sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread meringue over pie, covering completely.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 10 to 15 minutes, or until meringue is golden brown in spots.

BUTTERSCOTCH CREME BRULEE WITH CARAMEL CORN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees. In a medium saucepan, combine the cream, milk, brown sugar and salt. Cook over moderate heat, stirring until the sugar melts and small bubbles appear around the rim. Remove from the heat and whisk in the chocolate until melted. Add the 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoons of vanilla. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually whisk in the hot cream mixture, then strain the custard through a fine sieve into a bowl.
• Set eight 1/2-cup ramekins in a roasting pan. Pour the custard into the ramekins and add enough hot water to the pan to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Cover with foil and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the creme brulees are set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Uncover and let cool in the pan. Then refrigerate until very cold and firm, at least 5 hours.
• Set the ramekins in the freezer for 20 minutes, until icy cold. Preheat the broiler and position a rack 6 inches from the heat source. Place 4 of the ramekins in a baking pan and fill it with ice. Sprinkle about 2 teaspoons of granulated sugar evenly over each of the creme brulees and broil for about 1 minute, until the tops are carmalized. Remove the creme brulees from the ice water and refrigerate just until chilled, about 15 minutes. Repeat with remaining creme brulees. Alternatively, caramelize the sugar with a propane or bruleee torch. Top the creme brulees with the caramel corn and serve.
• Carmel Corn:.
• Active: 15 minutes; Total: 45 minutes.
• Makes 3 1/2 cups.
• Line a large baking sheet pan with lightly buttered parchment paper or foil. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup and water and bring to a boil. Wash down the sides of the saucepan with a wet pastry brush. Cook the syrup over moderate heat without stirring, until a medium amber caramel color forms, about 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and carefully stir in the butter and salt until melted. Add the popcorn and peanuts and carefully stir to coat all the pieces. Pour the caramel corn onto the buttered sheet pan and spread into an even layer. Drizzle any remaining caramel on top. Let cool for 30 minutes, then break the caramel corn into pieces.
