Before I talk about this delicious Green Tea Crème Brûlée recipe, I have one happy news to share with you. My recipes are being featured in the March issue of Singapore’s Food & Travel magazine!
Thank you Food & Travel for the feature! By the way, if you are curious about these featured dishes, the recipes are already on the blog: Omurice, Spaghetti Meat Sauce, Ebi Fry, Hamburger Steak, Kuri Kinton. Now let’s move on to today’s recipe.
It was almost two years ago when I first learned about Green Tea Crème Brûlée on my friend Sissi’s site. My husband is really into crème brûlée and I’m into matcha (green tea)… so I knew I had to make this dessert for us one day. But who knew it took me 2 years to make it…
The main reason why it took me a long time is because I thought crème brûlée is difficult to make despite being told it’s easy (and it is SUPER easy!). My husband even bought me a crème brûlée kit a while back (wait, was it a sign?). The kit came with four ramekins and a kitchen blowtorch. He was more excited to use the blowtorch than me and he actually used it in Seared Tuna Sashimi (Aburi Toro) recipe.
So what triggered me to make crème brûlée this time? I just had more than enough egg yolks from making Easy Coconut Macaroons (using egg whites only). I researched a little bit about crème brûlée as I wanted a good crème brûlée before adding matcha (green tea). I found most recipes online are pretty similar as the ingredients list is pretty short. I adapted Ina Garten’s crème brûlée recipe as the base and made my matcha version. This recipe is very simple yet really delicious! Hope you won’t end up waiting for 2 years like me to make this dessert! I hope you will enjoy making this Green Tea Creme Brulee recipe!
