Nutella Crème Brûlée and Chocolate Dipped Raspberries for Two

February 10, 2013 by Sophie 10 Comments

First off: Nom. (Nutella…)


Okay, so…Creme brulee is probably one of my favorite things to bake. It’s versatile (sooo many flavor options), fairly simple once you’ve done it a few times, and SO MUCH FUN to torch before serving. 


It has become a bit of a tradition for me to make my boyfriend, Nevin, creme brulee for special occasions (birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine’s etc). I have tried making a different flavor each round that I make it. A couple years ago I had made Nutella creme brulee for a Valentine’s Day, and it turned out amaaazingly. 


When I found out that this month’s Chocolate Party was double chocolate, I immediately thought of doing it again, with some kind of chocolate dipped fruit on top. Because I am in Spain, I can’t make the usual treat for Nev, so I’m dedicating this post to him (since we won’t be able to have a dinner/dessert date in person)! We will be travelling Italy together for two weeks at the end of this semester, so that’ll be our celebration! This recipe is peeerfect for Valentine’s because it only makes 2 ramekins! Whenever I’ve made it in the past, I haven’t worried about making a full recipe because I’d just give away the extras! But I thought it’d be fun to do a mini-version for anyone who wants to make a nice dessert without having a ton left over for Valentine’s.


So here we go…I’ve posted the process pictures to my flickr for simplicity!
(too many pictures for one post). Click here to see the full photo set of how I made these! And click the <pic> links for particular ones.

Here’s what you’ll need:
 
What to do:
 
 I was really excited about this set up: <pic>
 
About an hour before serving (so chocolate can firm up): <pic>

 
And for torching: <pic>
 
And there you go! Seriously delicious dessert that you can make a day before a date and then serve super easily! I’m sure my boyfriend probably always knows that it’ll be coming, but I still like to pretend that it’s a surprise. Once he hears the torch flame, it’s pretty obvious! 😉

 

So Happy (early) Valentine’s Day to Nev! I love you! 😀

Typical goons!

    I have great memories of eating my first creme brulee, and nutella certainly is a great addition to it! Bruleeing is definitely the best part!

    I absolutely love creme brûlée, I ALWAYS order it for dessert. I have a torch that I received for my birthday almost 3 years ago that I have yet to use! Shame on me! 🙁

I shared some of my favorite tips for scoring a mandala a few reels back, so check those out if you want to try a design like this for the first time. I find symmetry a little challenging, for some reason. My brain has a hard time with repetitive patterns, but taking it slow and drawing it out beforehand really helps!

If you didn’t know, I feel equally passionate about pie as I do sourdough. These little hand pies are so cute, and really not hard if you just get over the whole pie dough thing. You can do it, I promise!

Dm me if you want the recipe, cuz I’m saving this one for my cookbook, but I’ll happily share it with friends. 🤍🥧

Blue cornmeal sourdough waffles! Here’s my go-to Blue cornmeal sourdough waffles! Here’s my go-to sourdough waffle (and pancake) recipe. I love these because I swap ingredients all the time to try different flours and liquids. No buttermilk? Make your own, or just use milk and add some Greek yogurt for flavor. 🧇🌾🌽
•
Sourdough Waffles (and pancakes):
2 eggs
220g buttermilk
100g milk
5g vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
200g sourdough starter (can be active or discard)
50g sugar
6g baking soda
4g baking powder
5g salt
90g whole wheat flour
50g cornmeal
100g all-purpose flour

Whisk together the wet ingredients with the sugar until combined. Add the dry ingredients and whisk together until smooth. You may need to add more flour or milk to get it to the right consistency. Cook in a preheated waffle iron until golden and crisp.

Happy mandala Monday! It’s been too long since I Happy mandala Monday! It’s been too long since I’ve scored a mandala loaf, so I was so excited to bake this babe. 🍞🌾 Some of my favorite tips for scoring a mandala pattern on sourdough:

👀 Plan your design. Sketch it out on paper before going to the loaf. It helps to have something to reference. Then use a toothpick to trace it out on your loaf. ✍🏻

🧊 Keep your cool. If you’re worried your loaf will pancake before you finish scoring, pop it in the freezer for 20 minutes beforehand to get it extra cold and easier to work with.

✨And my final tip, which goes for any pattern, don’t be afraid to try something new! Trust your instincts and often you’ll love the result, but even more importantly you’ll learn something new for next time. 🤓
